FRESH FRUIT TART by Lori Allen

2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup Sugar

1 cup Butter

3/8 cup ice water

2 egg yolks

3/4 cup apricot preserves

1/4 cup juice

12 oz Cream Cheese

3/8 cup powdered sugar

Mix flour and sugar in large bowl. Using a cheese grater, grate all the butter into the flour mixture. Mix thoroughly so butter gratings are covered with flour. Mix egg yolks with ice cold water and pour slowly into the flour and butter mixture, stirring as you pour it in. When done, you will have what still looks pretty dry and lumpy, but now you start mashing it together with your hands. Work the mixture into smooth stiff dough that holds together, and then stop. Make a ball and place it on a floured surface. Flour the top of the dough and your rolling pin. Start rolling out dough, stopping fairly often and lift up the dough and re-flour the surface again and the rolling pin. The idea is to not let it stick to anything. When it is a big enough circle, softly fold the dough in half. Place the ungreased pan (use a round shallow 13” pastry pan for best results) nearby and place the folded dough on the top half of the pan. Then unfold the dough and fit it snugly into the pan. Trim the edges.

Using a fork, make some holes in the crust and bake at 400°F until golden and starting to brown (about 8-10 minutes). When you take it out, the crust will still be fairly flexible, but will firm up when cool.

On the stove in a small saucepan, start heating up the apricot preserves. Add 1/4 cup of some kind of juice (pineapple, mandarin orange, orange) to thin the preserves. Heat on medium low until very warm, stirring thoroughly a couple of times. Set aside.

Mix cream cheese with powdered sugar. Spread over cooled crust.

Cover the entire pizza with fruit (bananas, strawberries, raspberries, grapes, mandarin oranges, kiwi, and pineapple). Use your creativity to come up with a beautiful design. Drizzle the apricot mixture over the pizza, getting pretty good coverage.
