Nectarine Blueberry Tart Recipe

Prep: 40 min. Bake: 20 min. + chilling

Yield: 10-12 Servings

40 20 60

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
Dash salt
PASTRY CREAM:
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons cornstarch
Dash salt
1-1/2 cups milk
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups sliced fresh nectarines
1/2 cup fresh blueberries

Directions

In a small bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the flour and salt; mix until a ball forms. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Press pastry onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-in. tart pan with removable bottom. Place pan on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
For pastry cream, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a saucepan. Stir in milk until smooth. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Beat a small amount of hot filling into egg yolks; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Gently stir in vanilla. Pour into another small bowl; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, without stirring, until chilled.
Just before serving, pour pastry cream into tart shell. Arrange nectarines and blueberries on top. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 10-12 servings.
