Мethod of preparation

To prepare the Cranberry Pistachio Tart, begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh cranberries, 1 cup of sugar, and orange juice. Cook until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens, approximately 10 minutes. Set aside to cool. For the tart crust, in a large mixing bowl, combine flour and butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water until the dough comes together. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and press it into a 9-inch tart pan, trimming any excess. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. While the crust is baking, prepare the pistachio filling. In a bowl, mix the remaining sugar, chopped pistachios, orange zest, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until combined. Spread the cooled cranberry mixture over the baked tart shell, then spoon the pistachio mixture on top. Return the tart to the oven and bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until the pistachios are golden brown. For the orange glaze, mix the remaining orange juice with a tablespoon of sugar in a small pot and simmer until slightly thickened. Once the tart is done, let it cool slightly before brushing the glaze over it, serving it warm or at room temperature.
