Martha Stewart's Pies & Tarts

By Martha Stewart
Clarkson Potter - 1992

Candied Clementine Tart : page 99

This is a simple and delicious tart. The clementines must be made ahead of time, but are easy to make. The filling goes together in a snap, pour into a partially baked tart shell, and float the candied clementines on top. The tart can be made without the clementines, but makes a beautiful presentation and adds to the delicate flavor.

This is my favorite pie. Her directions are simple to follow and the extra high meringue is spectacular.

Raspberry Genoise Tart : page 73

Make this tart when the raspberries are in season at the farmers market. It is fairly simple to make, the hardest part is making the genoise batter. Be careful not to deflate the batter when folding the flour and butter into the mixture. If you follow the instructions properly you will have a light and buttery tart, best eaten the same day.

Red Raspberry Tartlets : page 67

If you have fresh raspberries from the farmers market and want to make a simple dessert,this is it. A tart shell, whipped cream and fresh raspberries. Heaven.
