Blueberry Tart - Couldn't Be Easier

Ducky's Note:

This blueberry tart is so simple to make yet packs a great taste. Everyone always loves this and it is a great way to use blueberries. This recipe comes from the "I Can't Believe It's Kosher" cookbook. Note: Tart may also be made in a 10-inch pie plate or a 10-inch quiche dish. A little extra care is needed to get the first piece out of a quiche dish.

Great recipie that is easy to follow and yeilds impressive results. A tart pan makes it that much better and is well worth the cost if you don't have one. I also gently heated 1/3 cup of apple jelly until liquid and brushed it on as a glaze and lightly sprinkled the top with icing sugar.

This is an excellent recipe. I agree that it needs a little more flour, so I added half a cup. I also chill the dough a little so that I may roll it a little between two sheets of wax paper--I think it ends up more even than when I just pat it on the dish.

Very blueberry! Good, but I am not sure if it's just me but I wish that there was more crust/flour to it-- it was basically like a crumble to me. Additionally, there was a *ton* of sugar. I read the reviews below but I didn't want to half the sugar-- I should have. I guess testing your berries (eating five?) may help you with your sugar questions!
