  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 large berry tart (8-10 servings)

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups of mixed wild berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries)
  • ¾ cup of granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
  • 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup of unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ¼ cup of ice-cold water
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar.
  2. Cut in the butter: Add the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture, using a pastry cutter or fingers to work it until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add water: Gradually pour in ice-cold water, mixing gently until the dough starts to hold together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. Prepare the berries: In a bowl, mix the wild berries with sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice until coated.
  5. Let the mixture sit: Sit for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld and juices to thicken.
  6. Preheat the oven: Set to 375°F (190°C).
  7. Roll out the crust: On a floured surface, roll the dough to fit your tart pan.
  8. Assemble and bake: Transfer dough, pour berry filling, and bake for 40-45 minutes until golden and bubbling.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen berries depending on availability.
  • Chill the dough thoroughly for best results.
  • Monitor baking time to avoid over-baking the crust.
