Here's a recipe for a Jersey Strawberry Tart:
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons ice water
- 1 pound fresh Jersey strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1- Make the crust: In a food processor, combine the flour, butter, sugar, and salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and ice water, and pulse until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
2- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
3- Roll out the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the dough into the pan and trim any excess. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork.
4- Bake the crust: Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the parchment paper and weights, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Let cool completely.
5- Prepare the strawberries: In a small saucepan, heat the strawberry jam over low heat until melted and smooth. Arrange the sliced strawberries in the cooled tart crust. Brush the melted jam over the strawberries to glaze.
6- Chill and serve: Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired. Slice and serve.
