Ingredients

  • 1 pint gooseberries*
  • 1 tbsp agave
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 walnuts*
  • 1 batch your favorite puff pastry dough

Instructions

  • Slice the gooseberries into rounds and toss with the agave and salt. Soak, covered, in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Soak the walnut in water overnight.
  • To prepare the tarts, preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Grease the bottoms of one dozen muffin tins.
  • Roll out the pastry dough and cut into twelve 2 to 2 1/2-inch rounds. Press the dough circles into the bottoms of the muffin tins.
  • Bake for five minutes.
  • While the tart shells are baking, blend the walnuts with just enough water to make a thick walnut cream.
  • Remove the tart shells from the oven and cool slightly before spreading a dab of walnut cream at the bottom of each tart.
  • Layer the gooseberries on top of the tart shells, starting from the outside and making a snail pattern inward. Top with any remaining gooseberry liquid.
  • Bake for 10 minutes or until edges of crust are golden.
  • Cool slightly before removing from the muffin tins.
