Blackberry-Mango Tart

Ingredients and Weight:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1-2 tablespoons ice water
• 3 cups fresh blackberries
• 3 cups fresh mangoes, peeled and diced
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 cup apricot glaze (optional)

Preparation Time:

45 minutes

Cooking Time:

25-30 minutes

Difficulty Level:

3 (Intermediate)

Preparation Method Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the butter cubes and work them into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add the egg yolk and ice water and mix until the dough just comes together. Form a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom and trim the edges.
5. In a medium bowl, combine the blackberries and mangoes. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir the dry ingredients into the fruit until combined.
6. Pour the fruit mixture into the tart shell. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
7. Let cool for a few minutes before brushing with apricot glaze, if desired.

Special Precautions and Tips:

• Make sure the butter and dough are cold before using. This will help to prevent the dough from becoming tough.
• Don't overwork the dough. Just mix it until it comes together.
• If the edges of the tart crust start to brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
• Let the tart cool for a few minutes before glazing it. This will help the glaze to set properly.
