FRESH PEACH TART

Steps:

• Place the sugar, flour, ground pecans, and salt in the bowl of a food processor, and pulse briefly until everything is well-blended. Add the cold cubed butter and pulse until it is in small pea-sized pieces. Separate the egg, and add the egg yolk to the bowl of the food processor, pulsing in long 5-second bursts until the dough starts clumping together.
• Turn the dough out of the food processor and knead it lightly several times to incorporate any extra flour. At this point, the dough can be wrapped and refrigerated for several days. If you're ready to use it now, spray a deep-dish 9-inch tart shell with a removable bottom with nonstick cooking spray.
• Press the dough in an even layer into the bottom and sides of the pan. Freeze the shell for 30 minutes, and while it's in the freezer, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray the top of the tart dough with nonstick spray, then press a sheet of foil onto the shell, shiny side down, and fill the foil with dry beans, rice, or pie weights.
• Bake the tart shell for 20-25 minutes, until the sides start to take on a little color and the center no longer looks raw, then carefully remove the foil and weights. Brush the bottom and sides of the shell with the beaten egg white. Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, until the shell is golden brown. You might want to cover the sides with foil to prevent them from getting too dark. Let the shell cool completely before filling it.
• Peel the peaches and slice them into thin slices. Take about 2 cups of peach chunks (approximately 20 oz, from about 4 peaches) and place them in the food processor, then process them until pureed.
• Combine the peach puree, sugar, starch, water, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan, and whisk until smooth. Place the pan over medium heat and cook it, whisking often, until it is bubbling, noticeably thick, and has become translucent. This will probably take 8-10 minutes. Whisk often so it does not scorch on the bottom. It is very important that you cook it long enough on the stove for the starch to thicken the filling, otherwise the filling will not set.
• Once thick and translucent, remove the pan from the heat and stir in most of the remaining peach slices-reserve about 2 dozen very thin slices for decorating the top. Place the pan with the warm filling in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes-you want it to cool down to room temperature, but not set completely. Once it is no longer hot, pour the filling into the baked and cooled tart shell, and spread it into an even layer.
• Top the tart with the reserved peach slices, fanning them out over the top. Refrigerate the tart to set it completely, for at least 3 hours. Once set, cut it into slices and serve with a big pile of whipped cream on top!
• This tart is best enjoyed within a day of making it. It can be eaten for several days after that, but the tart shell will eventually get soggy and the texture will suffer.

FRESH PEACH TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Roll out pastry and line a nine-inch tart pan. Prick the bottom, line with foil and weight with dry beans or pastry weights. Bake for about six minutes, until the pastry looks dry but has not begun to color. Remove foil and continue baking about six minutes longer, until the pastry is pale gold. Remove from oven and lower to 375 degrees.
• Slice peaches uniformly about one-half-inch thick and toss in a bowl with lemon juice.
• Combine pecans, brown sugar and cinnamon. Mix half this mixture with the flour and spread on the bottom of the tart shell. Arrange the peaches slightly overlapping in a pattern over the pecan mixture. Sprinkle with the other half of the pecan mixture and dot with butter.
• Bake about 30 minutes, until the filling begins to bubble. Allow to cool until barely warm and serve with whipped cream.
