- 1 tsp. grated lemon zest
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 lg. egg
- 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 3 tbsp. brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 lb. frozen sliced peaches
- 1/4 cup peach
- apricot preserves,
- fruit spread
- 1 cup fresh
- frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup blueberry jam
- Set a rack in the center of the oven.
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- For the crust, place the flour, lemon zest and salt in a mixing bowl, making a well in the center.
- Place the egg, butter and granulated sugar in the well.
- Using a fork, lightly mix the egg, then gradually work the flour into the egg and butter until the mixture is crumbly.
- Rub the dough between your fingers for 2 minutes to blend the ingredients well.
- Press the dough into a ball and flatten it into a 5x1 inch disk on a sheet of waxed paper.
- Invert a bowl over the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough between 2 sheets of waxed paper into an 11-inch disk.
- Removing 1 sheet of paper, fit the dough into a 9-inch loose-bottomed tart pan, fixing any tears with your fingers and bringing it three-quarters of the way up the sides.
- Line the crust with foil and weight it with dry beans.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake 5 minutes longer, until it is just golden.
- Cool completely on a wire rack.
- Fill immediately or cover with foil and set the crust aside for up to 8 hours.
- For the filling, combine the juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves, 30 seconds.
- Add the peaches, cover, and cook 4 minutes.
- Uncover and cook until the fruit is translucent but still firm, 5 minutes longer.
- Reduce the heat.
- Pushing the fruit to 1 side, mix the preserves with the liquid, cooking until it melts, 1 minute.
- Add the blueberries and mix to glaze the fruit.
- Set aside to cool slightly, 10 minutes.
- Coat the bottom of the crust with the blueberry jam.
- Spoon the warm fruit into the crust.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, within 2 hours.
