Ingredients:

  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • topping:
  • 1-1/4 cups sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • filling:
  • 5 eggs
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup butter, cubed
  • garnish:
  • 1 medium lemon , cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup water

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir until dough forms a ball. Divide into eight portions; press each onto the bottom and up the sides of eight 4-in. tart pans.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks.
  3. In a large saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar and water. Cook over medium heat until berries have popped, about 20 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, whisk the eggs, sugar, lemon juice and peel until blended. Add butter; cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
  5. Transfer to a small bowl; cool. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Transfer berry topping to another bowl; refrigerate until serving.
  6. Spoon filling into tart shells. Chill, uncovered, until set. For garnish, in a small saucepan, bring lemon slices, sugar and water to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes or until lemon is tender. Cut slices in half; chill.
  7. Just before serving, spoon cranberry topping over tarts. Garnish with lemon slices. Yield: 8 servings.
