Last week Joni asked me to bake a cake for his work so he could celebrate our wedding with his colleagues. As soon as he asked I thought ‘great’! I can use up at least one jar of marmalade that we got in the house (for some reason people think that Joni LOOOOOAAAVES marmalade so we ended up with 5 whole jars!). Don’t get me wrong, I don’t really like marmalade and Joni just likes it. If he loved marmalade that much I suppose we would have one jar of it or two at the max in the house. Luckily one jar of marmalade went straight to the bin (I think it was off as the texture was all sugary/candy like) and another has been used up to bake this tart. So if you are ok with your maths, we now have only three jars of marmalade…. wooohoo!!!!
Ok, I am very sorry to be so negative about the marmalade. After all it makes great tarts! And if you unlike me and like marmalade, then this tart is for you. It’s tastefully combined with rosemary flavour, therefore making it an amazing afternoon treat! How do I know that? Well… although I did not taste it (even if I wanted to have a one slice to see how my experiment turned out), apparently Joni’s colleagues really liked it and wanted more… All I can say ‘Success!!!’
MARMALADE TART WITH ROSEMARY CRUST
- 200g unsalted butter
- 6-8 tbsp sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 15-20 tbsp flour
- 1 rosemary spring, leaves finely chopped (plus 3-4 springs for decoration)
- 1 jar of marmalade
- icing sugar for dusting
1. Make the pastry dough by creaming butter with sugar. Gradually add egg yolks, flour and finely chopped rosemary. Wrap the dough into cling film and let it rest in the fridge for 15 min or so (it will be easer to handle it later). 2. Roll out the dough and line prepared baking tin with it (lined with baking paper prior that).3. Fill the tart with the marmalade
