Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rhubarb sliced into ¼ inch pieces
  • 2 cups strawberries washed and sliced, reserving 4-5 whole strawberries for decorating
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 butter pie crust below

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Place sliced strawberries and rhubarb in a saucepan.
  • In a small bowl, mix sugar and cornstarch.
  • Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the fruit and toss until evenly coated.
  • Heat the fruit on medium heat and brig to a simmer. Cook the mixture for 7-10 minutes until juices are released and thickened.
  • Turn off the heat and stir the vanilla into the fruit mixture.
  • Allow the fruit to cool completely.
  • Roll out chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to a 15-inch diameter.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.
  • Fold the dough into quarters, transfer to the baking sheet, and unfold.
  • Spread the fruit mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2½-inch border.
  • Fold the edges of the dough over the fruit, pleating as you go, leaving the center open.
  • Brush the pastry with an egg wash (egg yolk mixed with water) and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
  • Once cool, move the tart to a large plate, gently pulling the parchment from underneath.
  • Arrange fresh strawberries in the center of the tart.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
