Instructions

Prepare the crust

In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold butter and blend with a pastry cutter until crumbly. Gradually add ice water, mixing until dough forms. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.

Pro tip: Chilling helps the dough relax and makes it easier to roll.

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Roll out the dough

On a floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Transfer the dough to the pan, pressing it into the edges. Trim excess.

Pro tip: Roll from the centre outward to maintain even thickness.

Prepare the filling

In a large bowl, combine strawberries, blueberries, peaches, raspberries, ginger, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss to coat.

Pro tip: Adjust sugar according to the sweetness of your fruits.

Assemble the tart

Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared crust, spreading evenly.

Bake the tart

Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.

Pro tip: Cover edges with foil if they brown too quickly.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the tart warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For a make-ahead option, prepare the dough and fruit filling separately a day in advance and assemble just before baking. This tart can also be frozen before baking for a convenient dessert ready to bake when needed.
