By now you all know that Sunday was Mother’s Day. DUH!! I knew I had to have a special dessert. We were going to have two, no wait, three, oh, now – FOUR Moms at the Sunday Celebration. (We actually ended up with 5 Moms including the MIL and SIL.)
The only dessert that would do was Dorie’s
-
Quick Classic Berry Tart
And Dorie was right about it being quick. Tart crust. Pastry Cream. Fruit. It couldn’t be easier.
-
I used the un-nutted tart dough.
I added about 1/2 Tbl of Almond Liqueur(Just enough to taste it ‘under’ the tart..
I used Blueberries, Strawberries, and Blackberries.
I glazed with Purple Hull Pea Jelly.
It was a big hit with everyone.
It’s all gone. **SIGH**
This was really good. I would like to make some minis next time and have some left to freeze. I still have some pastry cream left so that is still a possibility.
I didn’t have any trouble except when I was trying to whip the pastry cream up for use. It was a little clumpy, but it didn’t affect the taste.
The glaze was a great addition. My berries were a little tart and the glaze added just a touch of sweetness before biting into the crust and pastry cream.
Thanks, Christine. This was a perfect pick for Mom’s Day.
Hope all the TWD Moms had a great day!!!

What a gorgeous 4 generation photo…who cares about the tart at this point, I just love seeing you and your family on Mother’s Day! Okay, the tart is stunning. I love that pan. Still on my not buying anything binge so it will have to wait, but someday I am getting that pan for tarts, they just look so special in them. Beautiful…all of it!

I love your rectangular-shaped pan, need to get my hands on one of those!! Your tart looks absolutely perfect!
I wish I would be able to take a picture of 4 generations of my family, unfortunately last my grandmother passed away 3,5 years ago and kids are nowhere to be found in my near future. You’re so lucky to have this picture!!

A four-generation picture? How cool is that?? The tart is not too shabby either. Sounds like a perfect Mother’s Day combo over there.

What a gorgeous family photo! And what a gorgeous tart! I need a tart pan that looks like that 🙂

Your tart is GORGEOUS! I love the rectangular shape too. 🙂

Awesome 4 generation picture!
Great looking tart. Love that shape. I need one of those pans. When we made that coconut tart, my pastry cream was lumpy, too, but still tasted great.
May 11, 2010 at 8:19 PM
That’s a lovely portrait picture of the 4 of you. Great that you had a side of berry tart to go along with the sweetness in the household!
May 12, 2010 at 4:18 AM
Gotta have one of those rectangular pans. What a stunning presentation! But I was even more interested in your generations picture. Now I know what you look like. Cool! Great to have a face attached to your blog.

This would make a perfect Mother’s Day dessert. So beautiful, but not as beautiful as the last photo of all of you together!
May 12, 2010 at 7:06 PM
What a beautiful family picture – love it!! Your sweet little granddaughter is getting so big! The tart looks great too – definitely a perfect Mother’s Day dessert.

Your rectangular tart looks so pretty! Love your family photo too! 🙂

I love that you went with the rectangular tart pan Margaret! It seems fitting here for such a lovely, elegant tart. This one won me over even though I’m not much of a pastry cream fan.
Great photo – thanks for sharing!

Your tart looks lovely! Purple hull pea jelly-interesting. Love the photo of the 4 generations. Happy Belated Mother’s Day!

Love both the tart and the photo. I used my extra dough and pastry cream for mini tarts. Couldn’t get enough of them.
The baby is really getting big!
May 15, 2010 at 7:41 AM
Your tart is absolutely beautiful!
May 15, 2010 at 4:47 PM
