Ingredients

• All-purpose flour
• Granulated sugar
• Kosher salt
• Unsalted butter, melted
• Almond extract
• Fresh Blackberries
• Sugar
• Lemon juice

Instructions

1. Add dry ingredients for the crust into a medium sized mixing bowl. Mix together.

2. Add melted butter and almond extract to the dry ingredients mixture and mix to form a dough.

3. Press the dough into a tart pan making sure to go up the edges of the pan. Place in a preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

4. While the crust bakes, mix the blackberries, flour, sugar, and lemon juice. Make sure to coat all of the berries.

5. Remove the crust from the oven and add the blackberry tart filling to the pre-baked crust. Put the oven temperature to 350*F and bake for another 30 minutes.

6. Cool and enjoy topped with ice cream or whipping cream or enjoy plain.

Hint: lt's important to bake the crust before adding the filling in order to keep the crust crispy and baked all the way through. This will help it from getting soggy on the bottom.

Substitutions

• Frozen Blackberries- Use frozen blackberries at a 1:1 ratio. The bake time may need to be adjusted.
• Gluten Free - instead of all-purpose flour, use almond flour for the crust, and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch for the filling.
• Puff Pastry - instead of using the homemade tart crust, make this a rustic looking blackberry tart by putting the filling in the center of puff pastry and fold the puff pastry over the edges of the berry filling.

Variations

• Lemon - to make this with a bigger zest, add fresh squeezed lemon,
• Blueberry - add 1 cup of blueberries to make a double berry tart.
• Peach- Add ½ cup of sliced and skinned fresh peaches to make an ultimate end of summer treat.
• Pear- Add ½ cup of sliced and skinned fresh pears.
• Chocolate- Drizzle melted chocolate chips on the tart right before serving.

Equipment

• 9 inch tart pan- we love this one with a removable bottom. It makes it so much easier to serve.
• 2 Mixing bowls

Storage

Store leftover tart in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Serve leftovers cold or warm in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time.

This tart freezes well. Freeze leftovers in a freezer bag or airtight container for 1 month.
