Here's a sneak peek at my cranberry tart recipe: (or just jump to the full recipe.) This way, once the filling is cooled (I often like to prep this a day or two ahead), I can simply mix up my crust ingredients (super quick and easy prep), add my sliced pears, top with my cranberry sauce filling, and bake! I'm looking for the whole berries to just barely begin to soften and split, releasing their pectin and juices, yet keep their shape and not become too cooked down or mushy. I use a little less water in the filling for this tart, and add some ground cinnamon and some orange zest for those delectable spicy notes.Īnd since cranberries cook so quickly, once they come to a vigorous boil, I only simmer them for about 6-8 minutes longer.

Since cranberry sauce is naturally full of pectin and has a fairly thick and glossy consistency, it makes for a fantastic tart filling.
