    Cointreau, Cranberry and Orange Tart

    • Preparation time: 20 minutes, plus 3 hours chilling, or overnight
    • Cooking time: 20 minutes
    • Total time: 12 hours

    Serves: 8

    Ingredients

    • 375g pack Saxby's Fresh Dessert Shortcrust Pastry
    • 200g tub Waitrose Cointreau Butter
    • 50g caster sugar
    • 3 large eggs plus 2 large egg yolks
    • Finely grated zest and juice of 3 medium oranges
    • 100g pack Forest Feast Berry Reds (dried cranberries from the grocery section)
    • 200ml tub Waitrose Cointreau Cream
    • 2 tbsp demerara sugar, to glaze

    Method

    1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Roll out the pastry and use to line the base of a 24cm loose-bottomed, fluted flan tin. Bake blind for 12-15 minutes until the pastry is golden and crisp. Allow to cool.
    2. Place the butter and sugar in a heavy-based pan and beat together with the eggs and yolks, until blended. Whisk in the zest and juice of the oranges.
    3. Place the mixture over a medium heat, whisking continuously for 4-5 minutes until it starts to thicken, then stir in the cranberries and 100ml of the cream. Boil for 1 minute, stirring continuously (do not boil for longer or the mixture will curdle). Pour the mixture into the pastry case and chill in the fridge for 3 hours, or overnight, until set.
    4. Just before serving, sprinkle the top with the sugar and cover the edges of the tart with foil. Place under a grill until the sugar melts and caramelises. Serve the tart in slices with the remaining Cointreau cream.
