Honey Date And Pecan Tart Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the sugar and flour. Stir in the eggs, honey, butter, vanilla and salt. Add chopped pecans and mix well. Pour into pastry shell. Arrange pecan halves around edge and center of pie. , Cover edges loosely with foil. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes. Remove foil; bake 20-25 minutes longer or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Store in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• In a saucepan bring the honey to a boil. Quickly beat the eggs into the honey. Add butter, vanilla, nuts, and nutmeg. Pour into the pie shell.
• Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 25 minutes or until set.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the pie: Place the pie dough in a 9-inch pie dish and press it against the dish to remove any air pockets. Crimp the edges, as desired, and set aside.
• Beat the eggs with the brown sugar in a medium bowl until the mixture begins to foam slightly. Whisk in the corn syrup, honey, melted butter, whiskey, vanilla and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Stir in the chopped pecans. Carefully pour into the prepared pie dish. Bake for 30 minutes
• For the topping: Combine the brown sugar with the honey and butter in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the whole pecans, coating them evenly. Gently spoon the coated pecans over the pie and drizzle with any remaining syrup. Bake the pie until risen a bit and the pecans on top are crisp and caramelized, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Make filling:
• Boil 4 cups pecans (reserve remaining 1/2 cup for garnish) with sugar, honey, cream, milk, and salt in a 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until liquid is golden, about 20 minutes (mixture will appear curdled at first, but then become thick and smooth). Remove from heat and transfer mixture to a shallow bowl, then cool completely, about 40 minutes.
• Prepare tart shell:
• Roll out larger disk of dough (keep remaining piece chilled) between 2 large sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap (or 2 overlapping sheets for each side if necessary) into a 13-inch round (1/8 inch thick), then remove parchment from top and invert dough into tart pan set on a baking sheet, pressing onto bottom and side of pan and leaving overhang. Chill shell at least 30 minutes. Roll out remaining disk between 2 large sheets of parchment or plastic wrap into a 12-inch round (1/8 inch thick) and chill on a baking sheet at least 30 minutes.
• Bake tart:
• Put oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 425°F.
• If nut filling is very firm, warm slightly in a saucepan over low heat until softened but not warm. Spread filling in tart shell, smoothing top. Brush overhang of bottom crust with water. Remove parchment from remaining round of dough and arrange round over tart filling, gently rolling a rolling pin along edge to seal and trim excess.
• Bake tart (in pan) on baking sheet until pastry is golden, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack set on a large plate 15 minutes. Carefully remove side of pan and cool tart completely, about 2 hours.
• Make glaze while tart cools:
• Put chopped chocolate in a shallow bowl. Bring cream just to a boil and pour over chocolate, then whisk gently (to avoid air bubbles) until chocolate is completely melted.
• Pour warm glaze over top of tart and gently spread with an offset spatula to evenly cover top, allowing chocolate to drizzle down side. Let tart stand until glaze is set, at least 30 minutes.
• Garnish tart:
• Rinse reserved 1/2 cup pecans in a sieve, then pat dry and carefully shave very thin slices (less than 1/32 inch) using slicer, checking thickness of first shavings on a plate before starting to shave pecans directly onto tart. If you don't have a slicer, finely chop.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine eggs, pecans, corn syrup, sugars, butter, vanilla and salt. Unroll crust into a 9-in. pie plate; flute edge. Add filling. Bake for 30 minutes. , In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and honey until combined. Stir in pecan halves until coated. Spoon over pie. , Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 15-20 minutes longer. Cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place pastry shells on a baking sheet.
• Beat butter with an electric mixer in a bowl until smooth and creamy; beat in brown sugar and honey. Beat egg, lemon juice, water, vanilla, and salt into butter mixture just until combined; stir in raisins. Fill tart shells 1/2-full with butter mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until filling is bubbly and pastry is golden, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12-inch circle, and transfer to a 9-inch metal pie plate. Fold over any excess dough, crimping the edges. Transfer crust to the freezer for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
• When ready to bake, place a rimmed baking sheet on the middle oven rack and heat oven to 425 degrees.
• Heat a small saucepan and melt the butter over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the foam subsides, the milk solids turn golden brown and the butter smells nutty and toasty, about 5 minutes. Add maple syrup to the pan and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and reduces slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and whisk honey into the warm syrup mixture. Let cool at least 10 minutes.
• While the syrup mixture cools, combine sugars, eggs, bourbon (if using), vanilla and salt in a large mixing bowl. Gradually pour syrup mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly, then use a rubber spatula to scrape in all the brown bits at the bottom of the pot.
• Remove pie crust from freezer and place pecans along the bottom of the crust. Carefully pour the filling over the pecans. Place pie plate on the hot sheet pan and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue to bake for another 35 to 45 minutes, until the center of the pie has puffed up and turned golden brown.
