August 11th
August 11, 2016 is
National
Raspberry Tart Day
Today
is National Raspberry Tart Day! The tart is the perfect combination of crispy
crust, creamy filling, and fresh fruit. Tarts originated during the Middle Ages.
Although sweet fruit-topped tarts are the most popular, many savory and salty
varieties also exist. For example, in France, many of these open-faced pies are
made with eggs, cheeses, meats, and vegetables. Whether you prefer them filled
with chocolate or goat cheese, tarts are always delicious!
To
celebrate National Raspberry Tart Day, head to your local bakery to pick up one of these fresh-baked
delights! Feeling creative? Make your own raspberry tart!
If you feel like cooking, you can make a raspberry tart
yourself and treat your family and friends. Here is a quick and easy raspberry
tart recipe for you.
In a bowl, blend together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup
butter, and 2 tbs confectioners' sugar. Let the mixture chill for 1 hour. Pat
chilled dough into a 9-inch tart pan. Bake at 375 °F for 10 minutes. Remove
crust from the oven and cool.
Arrange 4 cups fresh raspberries in crust. Heat 8 ounce
raspberry jam in microwave until it begins to boil. Pour jam over raspberries.
Cover the tart and put in the fridge for about 1 hour before
serving.
