Whats in Your Spice Rack?

Just as good as it looks!

I saw fruit tarts at the farmers market and wanted one sooooo bad! So I decided to look it up and make it. This was pretty easy and so delicious! I got the recipe from cooks.com but I will post it all here! Enjoy!!

FRESH FRUIT TART WITH SHORTBREAD COOKIE PASTRY

TART SHELL: 1 stick butter, room temperature 1 1/2 tbsp. shortening 5 tbsp. confectioners' sugar 1 c. flour Dash salt 1 egg yolk TART FILLING: 1 c. granulated sugar 1/2 tsp. lemon juice Dash nutmeg Fresh fruit 1 oz. brandy (optional) 8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature 1 tbsp. confectioners' sugar Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Cream together butter, shortening, confectioners' sugar. Add egg yolk. Beat in flour and salt - a stiff dough will result. Pat dough into 10 inch springform pan - bake at 300 degrees for 40 minutes in the meantime. Soften cream cheese and then beat in 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar. Set aside. Bring granulated sugar, lemon juice and nutmeg to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add brandy - add fresh fruit - poach for 5 minutes. Drain fruit and reserve sugar sauce. Allow tart shell to cool completely. Spread cream cheese mixture in tart shell - arrange fruit - brush with reserve sugar sauce - MMM!!!

I didn't use the brandy and I didn't have any nutmeg. But it was still delish! It made a litle more than 4- 4" tarts. Or one 9" . Love love love it!
