Description
A classic cherry tart with a buttery crust, tart cherry filling, and a soft kiss of powdered sugar—perfect for any season.
Ingredients
2 cups pitted cherries (fresh or frozen)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 premade tart crust
Powdered sugar for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F.
In a saucepan, combine cherries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook on medium heat until thick (8–10 minutes).
Let the filling cool slightly.
Line tart shell with crust and pour in the filling.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, until crust is golden and filling is bubbling.
Cool for 20 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Use tart cherries for maximum flavor.
Frozen cherries work well but must be thawed and drained.
Add almond extract or herbs for variations.
