Nectarine Blueberry Tart cont.



In a small mixing 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.
