Berry Tart

Summer time means berries, and here’s a new berry recipe that will delight your taste buds.  We offered a sampling to our clients at the Women Only Sauna Night this month and it was a hit.  I hope you like to, too.

For the crust:

• 2 cups GWF Baking Mix (sweet, salty)
• 1 1/2 sticks of cold butter, cut into small pieces (sweet)
• 1/4 cup ice water

For the filling:

• 2 cups of blueberries (sweet, sour)
• 1 cup of raspberries (sweet, sour)
• 1 cup of blackberries (sweet, bitter)
• Zest of 1 lemon (bitter)
• Juice from 1/2 lemon (about 2 TBS) (sour)
• 1 tsp arrowroot powder

1. To make the crust, place GWF Baking Mix in a food processor.  Add butter and mix until the pieces are about pea sized.  Quickly add the water and mix until a dough forms.  Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for an hour (or overnight).
2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Mix filling ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside.
3. Roll the dough out onto a large piece of parchment paper until about 1/4 or 1/8 inch thick.  Transfer, parchment paper and all, onto a large cookie sheet.  Place berry mixture in the center leaving about 1 inch of dough uncovered around the edges.  Gently fold the edges up and over the berries so they don’t escape as it bakes.
4. Bake in the center of the oven for about 45 minutes, or until the berries start to bubble.  Remove from the oven, and cool for about 1 hour before serving. To finish it off, add whipped cream and chopped fresh basil (optional).
