Blueberry Lemon Tart
Jul 16, 2009 | From the kitchen of Rose
This is one of my (and Elliott's) favorite desserts of all time but this year, the New Jersey blueberries are the most flavorful they've been since my childhood which reminded me to make the tart.
It's really quite simple: flaky pie crust or flaky cream cheese pie crust, lemon curd, and uncooked blueberry topping but it does take a while to make all three comonents though all but the topping can be made ahead.
It's in The Pie and Pastry Bible page 258

"Funnily enough" ?? What does that mean?

You may want to try Rose's flaky cream cheese dough. The moisture in the cream cheese means you're not trying to gauge the water you'll need to add -- a real plus on humid days. Rose's cream cheese dough is magnificent and it's also the easiest I've ever made -- in terms of making it and rolling it. Always a hit!

I didn't know you have a blog! Funnily enough, this is the recipe I'm making today...even though pastry dough defeats me every time. Oh well, here goes another try!

Wow, we both made the same tart in the same week! I recommend it highly, it is delicious. Once the pie dough and curd are made (I made them ahead), it goes together quickly.

Thank you for the reminder!! I have an amazingly flavorful overabundance of cosmetically challenged blueberries from the farmers market. they are indeed the best blueberries I have tasted in a long time. I am in Northern California, so I am not sure where these berries are from, but we must be having a good year, too!
I made your open-faced bluberry pie with them last weekend, and this weekend will make the blueberry lemon tart and bring it to the farm stand where I got these berries.
Have a great trip Rose!!
