Mascarpone and Blackberry Tart
The Basic Tart Dough can be made well in advance and frozen, so you're always ready to whip one of these tarts up. Outside the brief glory of blackberry season, you can use store-bought berries, simmered with some sugar and strained through a fine-mesh sieve to make a coulis for drizzling over the mascarpone filling (instead of topping with lackluster blackberries). Punch the natural brightness of the blackberries up with the juice from one medium lemon.
