Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh blackberries
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup apricot preserves, warmed
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter pieces and use a pastry blender or your fingertips to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir until the dough comes together.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times until it becomes smooth. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides. Trim off any excess dough.
  6. Arrange the blackberries and diced mango evenly over the tart crust.
  7. Brush the warmed apricot preserves over the fruit to glaze it.
  8. Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is soft.
  9. Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
  10. Serve slices of the tart on dessert plates and enjoy!
