Simple Rustic Rhubarb Tart


Yesterday I ran out to the over grown rhubarb patch to thin it out a wee bit.

I was met with a zealous plant that seemed to think itself quite smart that it had doubled its size since I last went to visit it.


I had a bit of pastry in the freezer so I pulled it out ..

pulled out a few thick stalks of rhubarb ..

chopped them up and voila .. .

rustic rhubarb tart

for my guests.


Follow the recipe for easy pastry from the Pear Custard Pie recipe that I posted last fall.

Click here for that.


I rolled out the pastry to fit into a tart pan that has a removable bottom.

Oh I love those removable bottoms.


Then .. .

I chopped enough rhubarb to make 6 cups chopped.

Stir in 1 cup of sugar .. .

a scant 1/4 cup flour ..


Put the filling into the crust ..

fold the edge of the crust over to cover the edges about 1 inch.

Roughly trim the crust . .

Brush a little fresh heavy cream over the edge of the crust and sprinkle a wee bit of sugar on.


Bake the tart at 375 for about 40 minutes.

The filling should be bubbling a bit.

If you like, you can drizzle a little melted jelly over the tart filling after it comes out of the oven to give it a bit of a shine.


Don't forget to have a scoop of vanilla ice cream on hand.


Have a wonderful day my friends. .. .

I'm off to entertain .. .

  3. I'll be back to view the pic later...and now I should run out and see if my rhubarb has grown while I was away! I didn't really have baking on my agenda for today...but how long would it take to make up a rhubarb treat...fresh from the oven? I always feel like cooking...and baking when I return from vaation!
