Strawberry Rhubarb Tarts
Description
These tarts begin by pre-baking mini tart shells until crisp and cooled to room temperature, providing a firm but delicate base for the filling. The filling is made by gently boiling chopped rhubarb and strawberries with sugar and fresh orange juice until tender and softened. To achieve a glossy, slightly thickened texture, a slurry of cornstarch and water is stirred into the simmering fruit mixture, which thickens as it cooks.
The thickened fruit filling is then spooned into each tart shell, roughly one tablespoon per shell, creating evenly portioned mini tarts. After filling, the tarts are chilled in the refrigerator until set, allowing the flavors to meld and the texture to firm slightly.
This recipe produces small, fruity tarts combining the sharp acidity of rhubarb with the sweetness of strawberries and citrus notes from the orange juice. These tarts work well as a light dessert or snack and can be served chilled.
