CRANBERRY WALNUT TART

Serves: 12

For crust:
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 ounces cold butter
1 large egg yolk
1 1/2 tablespoons ice cold water

For filling:
3 large eggs
2/3 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup light corn syrup
2 ounces melted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups cranberries, coarsely chopped
1 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven at 425 degrees. Make shell: In a mixing bowl, blend together the flour, sugar, and salt, add cut up butter, and mix to form a coarse meal. Add egg yolk and water, and mix to form the dough into a ball. Chill the dough for 30 minutes. Roll dough out thinly to fit into a 10-inch round tart pan with a removable bottom.
Line the shell with foil, fill bottom of shell with rice or dry beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and rice. Cool. In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar, syrup, butter, salt, and vanilla. Stir in the cranberries and walnuts.
Pour mixture in shell, and bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes to form a golden crust on top. Cool tart, remove rim of the pan, and slide tart onto a serving platter.
