ingredients

• 12 ounces fresh cranberries or 12 ounces thawed frozen cranberries
• 1 3⁄4 cups sugar, about
• 1⁄2 cup apple juice
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3⁄4 cup raspberry jam (about 6 oz.)
• 1⁄2 lb butter, at room temperature
• 2 large egg yolks
• 2 1⁄3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt

directions

1. Sort cranberries, discarding any stems and bruised or decayed fruit; rinse and drain berries.
2. In a 3- to 4-quart pan over medium heat, stir cranberries, 1 cup sugar, apple juice, and lemon juice occasionally until berries have broken down and released their juices and mixture is bubbly, 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Stir in jam and cook 1 minute longer.
4. Whirl mixture in a blender or food processor until smooth.
5. Press through a fine strainer into a bowl, extracting as much liquid as possible with the back of a spoon or a spatula; discard seeds and skins.
6. Cover and chill until cold, at least 1 hour, or up to 3 days (see notes).
7. With a mixer, beat butter with 3/4 cup sugar until smooth; beat in egg yolks.
8. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until well blended.
9. Divide dough into two slightly unequal portions.
10. Wrap the larger portion in plastic and flatten into a rectangular shape.
11. Press the smaller portion over bottom and up sides, to rim, of a 9-inch fluted tart pan with removable rim.
12. Chill wrapped dough and tart shell until firm, at least 1 hour, or up to 3 days (see notes).
13. Spoon jam mixture into tart shell and spread level.
14. Unwrap the second portion of dough and place on a lightly floured surface.
15. With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out dough into a shape that closely approximates an 8- by 10-inch rectangle.
16. With a knife or fluted cutter, cut dough into eight 1- by 10-inch strips.
17. Arrange four strips over filling about 1 inch apart.
18. Place remaining strips over tart at a 45° angle to the first set of strips.
19. Trim edges flush with dough in pan.
20. Sprinkle top of tart lightly with sugar.
21. Place tart on an uninsulated baking sheet and bake on the lower rack of a 350° regular or convection oven, rotating tart halfway through baking time, until top is golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
22. Serve warm or at room temperature.
23. NOTES: You can make the jam mixture (step 1) and the dough (step 2) for this tart up to 3 days ahead; cover separately and chill.

This is a really a great dessert, I had <a href="/195008">Kittencal's Perfect Jellied Cranberry Sauce</a> already made in my fridge so that is what I used, I did not have any raspberry jam to add in the cranberry mixture so I used homemade strawberry jam and that seemd to work out well, This dough recupe is not your everyday tart dough recipe, it puffs up slightly while baking, however I was pleased with the texture of the crust, even though I did not use some of the ingredients featured in this recipe, it still turned out worthy of 5 stars, great recipe hon, thanks for sharing!...Kitten:)
