Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 125 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons Ice water
• 300 grams Cranberries (fresh or frozen)
• 150 grams Granulated sugar (for cranberry jam)
• 60 milliliters Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and sugar for the tart crust.

Step 2

Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add the egg yolk and ice water to the mixture. Mix until the dough comes together, being careful not to overwork it.

Step 4

Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, prepare the cranberry jam. In a medium saucepan, combine cranberries, granulated sugar, orange juice, and orange zest.

Step 6

Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries soften and burst, about 10-15 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the cranberry mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool completely.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom.

Step 9

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle large enough to cover the tart pan. Transfer the dough to the pan and press it gently into the sides.

Step 10

Trim any excess dough from the edges and prick the bottom of the crust with a fork.

Step 11

Spread the cooled cranberry jam evenly over the crust.

Step 12

If desired, roll out any leftover dough scraps and cut them into strips to create a lattice pattern on top of the tart.

Step 13

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Step 14

Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan before serving.

Step 15

Dust the tart with powdered sugar before serving, if desired. Enjoy!
