Strawberry-Rhubarb Tart with Brown Sugar Shortcrust

  • 8

Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1.5 pints strawberries, sliced
  • 1 stalk rhubarb, diced
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 Tbs arrowroot powder or cornstarch

Preparation

Step 1


Preheat oven to 325. Lightly butter a 9-inch tart pan.

Add the butter to a bowl and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in the brown sugar, mixing well to break up and lumps. Gently mix in the flour and the salt, taking care not to overwork the dough (it will be very dry and crumbly).

While the crust begins to bake, combine strawberries, rhubarb, white sugar, and cornstarch in a bowl. Set aside to rest — the mixture will get very syrupy.

Pour the strawberry mixture into the partially baked crust, making sure to spread it out across the whole thing. Return to the oven and bake for another 30 minutes, or until the crust is baked and the middle looks like jam.

This looks fantastic! My parents have a huge rhubarb plant in their yard, we used to make rhubarb & strawberry rhubarb pies a few times a year.

Your tart looks beautiful. Rhubarb is my all time favourite pie. I like it pure though without the addition of strawberries or other fruit. I love the idea of rhubarb on a shortbread cookie crust. Can’t wait to try. Thank you.

We have four rhubarb plants and I can’t wait to make this dessert. Lovely!

My absolute favorite summer dessert, this has my mouth watering. I must make some strawberry rhubarb jam, pie, crisp, tart, bread- something- soon!

i can’t say that i’ve had rhubarb before either, but i’ve seen strawberry and rhubarb combined before. this tart looks fantastic and simple, can’t wait to give it a try

I must make this tomorrow!! I have all the ingredients at home!

Never had Rhubarb, but this recipe makes me want to try.
