So, I think you see the theme here with using the playing cards from the stamp set "Card Games". Dessert for the night was this yummy homemade fruit tart, did I mention yet how good this is? EVERYONE wanted seconds of this one.
Supplies: Very Vanilla and Real Red Card Stock, Real Red Dye ink and the playing card after being layered, was laminated on my Xyron. Didn't take much to embellish this dessert!
GLAZED FRUIT TART - this is very easy and always turns out delicious!
1/4 pound butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
1 & 3/4 cups flour
3 to 4 cups fruits such as well-drained mandarin orange sections, whole or sliced strawberries, seedless grapes, blueberries and I used canned pineapple tidbits.
ORANGE GLAZE:
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1 & 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
dash salt
1 cup orange juice (I used fresh squeezed - did it myself - yummmmmy)
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1 tablespoon orange-flavored liqueur
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, beat butter until fluffy. Gradually mix in sugar, beating until light. Add egg yolk, orange juice, vanilla and orange peel. Mix in flour. Press dough into tart pap. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool in pan. Unmold. May be frozen.
Prepare Orange Glaze; set aside. Fill tart shell with desired fruit. Carefully spoon cooled Orange Glaze over top, covering fruit completely. May be refrigerated up to 8 hours. Makes about 16 - 20 servings. Just cut with a large sharp knife.
ORANGE GLAZE:
Mix sugar, cornstarch and salt in a small saucepan. Gradually stir in orange juice until smooth. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 2 minutes. Add orange peel. Cover and cool. Stir in orange liqueur.
