Apple And Orange Marmalade Tart With Rosemary Recipes

Steps:

• Wash the oranges and lemon thoroughly. Cut the oranges into 1/8-inch slices using a mandoline, removing the seeds as you go. Stack the orange slices and cut them into quarters. Place the oranges into an 8-quart stainless steel pot. Add the lemon zest and juice and the water to the pot, set over high heat and bring to a boil, approximately 10 minutes. Once boiling, reduce the heat to maintain a rapid simmer and cook, stirring frequently, for 40 minutes or until the fruit is very soft.
• While the fruit is cooking, fill a large pot (at least 12-quart) 3/4 full with water, set over high heat and bring to a boil. Place 10 (8-ounce) jars and rings, canning funnel, ladle, and tongs into the boiling water and make sure the water covers the jars by at least an inch. Boil for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the lids and leave everything in the pot until the marmalade is ready.
• Meanwhile, place a small plate in the freezer. Increase the heat under the orange mixture to return to full boil. Add the sugar and stir the mixture continually, until it reaches 222 to 223 degrees F on a deep-fry or candy thermometer, and darkens in color, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. You may need to adjust the heat in order to prevent boil over. Test the readiness of the marmalade by placing a teaspoon of the mixture onto the chilled plate and allowing it to sit for 30 seconds. Tilt the plate. The mixture should be a soft gel that moves slightly. If mixture is thin and runs easily, it is not ready.
• Remove jars from the water and drain on a clean towel. Place a canning funnel onto the top of 1 of the jars and ladle in the marmalade just to below the bottom of the threads of the jar. Repeat until all of the mixture has been used. The amount of marmalade may vary by 1 to 2 jars. Wipe the rims and threads of the jars with a moist paper towel and top each with a lid. Place a ring on each jar and tighten.
• Return the jars to the pot with boiling water, being certain that they don't touch the bottom of the pot or each other. (If you don't have a jar rack, try a round cake rack, or metal mesh basket. Even a folded kitchen towel on the pot bottom will do in a pinch.) Add additional water if necessary to cover the jars by at least an inch. Boil for 10 minutes. Using canning tongs, carefully remove the jars from the water, place in a cool dry place and allow to sit at room temperature for at least 24 hours before opening. Once open, store in the refrigerator. Unopened marmalade will last for up to 6 months.

Steps:

• Whisk together the marmalade, almond extract, salt and 2 teaspoons water in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Set the apples on a cutting board. Cut the flesh away from the cores, making 4 apple "cheeks" from each apple. Discard the cores. Cut the flesh into very thin slices and add it to the bowl with marmalade; toss to coat. Divide the apples among 4 small plates and sprinkle each serving with cherries and crushed cookie.

Steps:

• Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour; have ready a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom.
• Roll one disk of dough to an 11-inch circle, with an 1/8-inch thickness. Roll dough around rolling pin, and unroll over tart pan. Using your fingers, gently press dough into pan. Trim any excess dough flush with the edges of the pan, and chill 30 minutes.
• Line a baking pan with parchment. Roll remaining disk of dough to an 1/8-inch thickness. Using a fluted pastry wheel, cut into 10 3/4-by-12-inch strips. Transfer strips to pan, and chill 30 minutes.
• Peel, core, and cut each apple into 16 wedges. Place wedges in medium bowl; toss with lemon juice and rosemary. In a small bowl, combine sugar and cornstarch. Sprinkle sugar mixture over apples; toss to coat.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line crust with a 12-inch circle of parchment, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until crust starts to take on color, about 15 minutes. Remove weights and parchment. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees; continue baking until crust has cooked through, about 7 minutes.
• Fill crust with apple mixture, and dot with butter. Using chilled strips of dough, weave lattice pattern over top.
• Bake until lattice crust has slightly browned and apples are tender, about 1 hour. Remove from oven; transfer to a wire rack to cool. Decorate with glazed walnuts.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together 1 1/3 cups of flour and salt. Add the butter, 1 egg yolk and water, and stir until the mixture forms large crumbs. If it is too dry to press a handful together, stir in more water. Press the dough into a ball, and wrap in plastic wrap. Flatten slightly, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until firm. This part can be done up to three days in advance.
• To make the frangipane, cream together the butter and 1/2 cup of sugar in a medium bowl until light and soft. Gradually mix in the egg and the remaining egg yolk one at a time. Stir in the apple brandy. Stir 2 tablespoons of flour into the ground almonds, then mix into the batter. Set aside.
• Roll the pastry dough out to about a 12 inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Fold loosely into quarters, and center the point in a 10 inch tart or pie pan. Unfold dough, and press into the bottom and up the sides. Prick with a fork all over, and flute the edges. Return pastry to the refrigerator to chill until firm.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a baking sheet inside the oven while it preheats.
• Spoon the frangipane into the chilled pastry, and spread into an even layer. Arrange the apple slices in an overlapping spiral pattern. Each slice should have one edge pressed into the frangipane until it touches the pastry base, and then overlap the previous slice. Start at the outside edge, and work towards the center.
• Place the pie plate on top of the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the filling begins to brown. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake for another 10 minutes, then sprinkle sugar over the top of the tart. Return to the oven for 10 more minutes, or until the sugar caramelizes slightly.
• Cool the tart on a wire rack. A short time before serving, warm the apricot jelly. Add some water if necessary to make it a liquid consistency. Brush onto the tart for a nice shine.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Spray 11-in tart pan with removeable bottom with cooking spray.
• Roll out dough in 13-in round; place in pan.
• Trim dough even with top of pan.
• Arrange apples close together over dough in 3 concentric circles, starting at outside edges and working into center.
• Combine sugar and salt; sprinkle over apples
• Dot apples with butter.
• Bake 45-50 minutes or until apples are tender and browned at tips and crust is golden brown (cover edges of crust with foil during last 5-10 minutes if browning too quickly).
• Cool in pan on wire rack.
• Combine marmalade and wine; brush over apples.

Steps:

• For the Pastry:.
• Place the flour and salt in a good sized bowl.
• Add the butter bit by bit and blend till the mixture resembles coarse meal.
• Add the water bit by bit until the dough forms a ball.
• Wrap in cling-film and let the dough sit at room temperature for one hour.
• Note: The dough can be frozen and then, when you want it, thaw in the refrigerator.
• Note 2: The dough can be made in a food processor or a stand mixer, but do not over-mix.
• Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Lightly flour your work surface and roll the dough out into a 14" circle.
• Roll the pastry around your rolling pin and un-roll in a 9 1/2", removable-bottom tart tin, with the edges of the pastry overlapping evenly all around.
• Gently fit the pastry against the sides of the tin.
• Make the Filling:.
• Mince the rosemary.
• Place half the apples in the tart tin.
• Sprinkle with half the sugar and all the rosemary.
• Top with the remaining apples and the remaining sugar.
• Bring the edges of the crust up and over the apples--it will partially cover the top of the tart.
• Whisk together the egg and the water and brush the exposed pastry with the wash (you won't need much--use the rest for a tiny omelette.
• Place the tart tin on a cookie sheet and bake in the lower third of the oven until the pastry is golden and the apples are softened and juicy, about 30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and place the tart tin on an over-turned bowl to remove the sides.
• Let the tart cool to lukewarm or room temperature before serving.
