Rustic Dried Fruit Tart
- 1/2 cup confectioners sugar, divided
- 2 1/4 cups (10 1/2 ounces) lightly packed mixed dried fruit, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup orange marmalade
- 1 frozen puff pastry sheet (about 9 ounces), thawed
- Heat the oven to 400F.
- Line 1 rimmed baking sheet with a nonstick liner.
- Set aside 2 tablespoons of the confectioners sugar.
- 2 Put the dried fruit, 2/3 cup water, and the marmalade in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until boiling.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is tender and the liquid is reduced and thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Set aside to cool completely or transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Arrange a large piece of plastic wrap on the counter.
- Sprinkle generously with some of the remaining confectioners sugar.
- Using a rolling pin, roll out the puff pastry sheet, sprinkling the top and bottom often and generously with the sugar to prevent slicking, into a 10-inch square, then trim into a 10-inch round.
- Move to the prepared baking sheet.
- Spoon the cooled dried fruit into the center of the pastry, mounding it slightly and leaving about a 2-inch border.
- Fold the edges over the filling, pleating the pastry as you go around the filling and leaving the center of the fruit uncovered.
- Sprinkle the remaining sugar over the pastry.
- Bake until the pastry is golden brown, about 35 minutes.
- If the pastry puffs up, prick with a fork or knife tip.
- Set on a rack to cool slightly before serving.
