Introduction

A wonderful warm weather dessert, the kind you eat while sitting in the garden on a Sunday afternoon!

Ingredients

Serves: 6-8

1 cup washed blueberries
1 cup water
1 cup superfine sugar
½ cup flour
2 tablespoons butter
¼ teaspoon salt
1 heavy cream (for serving)

Combine 1 cup/150g of the blueberries with the water, sugar, and flour in a saucepan on a medium heat. Cook and stir until thick.

Add the butter and the salt. Once the butter is melted and incorporated, remove from heat and leave to cool. Mash to a puree (I just use a fork here). Fold in the remaining blueberries.

Pour into a 10 inch/25 cm graham cracker crust. I always use a storebought pie crust, but feel free to make your own!

Chill tart overnight.

Whip the cream until the beaters leave light traces on the surface and serve with the tart.

Additional Information

While cooking the blueberries/water/sugar/flour mixture, you don't have to be stirring the entire time - just make sure the mixture has really thickened before you add the butter. Otherwise, you will end up with chilled blueberry soup!
