How to cook deliciously - Summer Berry Tart

1. Stage

Make the tart dough: In a food processor, add the flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Pulse a couple times to combine. Add the cubed cold butter and pulse several more times until the largest piece of butter is the size of a pea. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Pulse a few more times until the dough begins to form clumps and pull away from the side of the food processor.

2. Stage

Press the dough into the tart pan and freeze: Lightly grease the inside of a tart pan (with removable bottom) with butter. Dump the clumpy dough into the tart pan and spread out evenly with your fingers along the bottom and up the sides of the tart shell. You don't have to press too hard; if the dough is still a little crumbly, that's good. To make the top even you can press the dough up a little higher than the tart pan edge and use a rolling pin over the top to even the edges. Put the tart pan in the freezer for 1 hour.

3. Stage

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the oven rack in the middle of the oven.

4. Stage

Pre-bake the crust: Line the frozen tart crust with aluminum foil, with enough extra foil off two sides to use for lifting. Fill with pie weights—dry beans or ceramic or stainless pie weights. Place a shallow baking pan on the bottom rung of the oven to catch drippings. Put the tart pan in the oven on the middle rack. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and remove the pie weights. (I lift the hot beans out by holding on to the aluminum foil and place the foil and beans into a large bowl to cool before storing.) Poke the bottom of the crust with the tines of a fork. Return the tart pan to the oven for 10 to 15 more minutes. Bake until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

5. Stage

Mix the filling ingredients, then spread into tart crust: Using an electric mixer, beat together the mascarpone, cream, powdered sugar, orange zest, and vanilla extract on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 40 seconds to a minute. Scoop the mixture into the tart crust, and spread it so that it is level.

6. Stage

Arrange the berries on top, brush with jelly mixture: Arrange the berries on top of the mascarpone mixture in the tart crust. Combine the jelly or marmalade, water, and vinegar or juice into a small saucepan and heat on medium heat until bubbly and the jelly has dissolved as well as it can. Using a pastry brush, brush the jelly mixture over the berries for a glossy sheen. Remove the rim of the tart pan before serving. (You may need to use a knife to gently separate the edges of the tart from the pan.) Store covered in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days. To make ahead, make the crust and filling and store covered in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days. Add the fruit and glaze the day of serving.
