Fresh Raspberry Tart





Yields
Makes 8 servings

Asked to bring dessert for a dinner, Ann Brown planned to make a fresh berry pie. When she went to the market, the raspberries she found were so exceptional that she chose them to make this open-faced tart in a buttery crust.

 1 cup all-purpose flour
 2 tablespoons plus 1/3 cup granulated sugar
 1/2 cup (1/4 lb.) butter or margarine, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
 5 1/2 cups raspberries, rinsed and drained
 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
 1 cup whipping cream
 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Step 1

In a food processor or bowl, combine flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and butter. Whirl or rub with your fingers until the mixture is crumbly. Whirl until the dough forms a ball, or press dough firmly into a ball. Press dough evenly over bottom and 1 inch up the side of a 9-inch cake pan with a removable rim.
