Blueberry Tart - Couldn't Be Easier
"This blueberry tart is so simple to make yet packs a great taste. Everyone always loves this and it is a great way to use blueberries. This recipe comes from the "I Can't Believe It's Kosher" cookbook. Note: Tart may also be made in a 10-inch pie plate or a 10-inch quiche dish. A little extra care is needed to get the first piece out of a quiche dish."

Great recipie that is easy to follow and yeilds impressive results. A tart pan makes it that much better and is well worth the cost if you don't have one. I also gently heated 1/3 cup of apple jelly until liquid and brushed it on as a glaze and lightly sprinkled the top with icing sugar. -
I am not an expert baker and my plum tart from long ago was a bit of a disaster. But this was incredibly easy. I used a pre-made frozen pie crust. Mine was only 5" in diameter, so I divided everything by 4, and reduced the sugar a bit based on the comments. Came out great. -
There is something wrong with this recipe, First, I did crust in my Cuisinart, note a bowl as suggested, easier, it did not make enough dough for a 10" spring form pan, I had to use a square tart pan with removable bottom, smaller, recipe was unclear when it came to berries, recipe was unclear weather to measure berries by weight or by cup, makes a difference. -
AWESOME TART!! Made this for my whole family, gone in 15 minutes! Everyone always asks me to make it again, best blueberry dessert ive ever made! -
The recipe is really simple, and it doesn't take long to make. The result is pretty yummy, except for one thing: it's so so so sweet. It literally puts you in a sugar coma. Next time I would skip sugar in the filling and think of something else. Blueberries are sweet themselves, and they might do well alongside a less sweet berry, maybe with some gelatine involved to make it even better. Otherwise, good idea for a quick dessert!
