Instructions
Tart Dough
In a food processor, combine flour, almond meal, and sugar and pulse.
Cut butter into pats and add to flour mixture.
Pulse until butter is about the size of peas.
Add vinegar and half the water and pulse.
Keep adding water a tablespoon at a time until a dough starts to form a ball but be careful to not over mix.
Cover dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm.
Jalapeno Strawberry Jam
Combine all ingredients in a large pan and place over high heat.
Bring the berries to a boil, stirring often.
Turn the heat down to a nice rolling simmer.
Keep stirring often while strawberries break down and the jam thickens, (about 20 minutes).
Jar and refrigerate if assembling the tart later, otherwise, remove from heat and let cool.
Assembling Tart
Roll out 2/3 of the dough and press into a tart pan.
Place tart pan on a cookie sheet and fill tart with jam.
Roll out remaining tart dough and using the ruler, cut out four 5/8 inch strips.
Make a small cut on each side of the tart at the 3 and 6 inch marks.
Lay the dough strips across tart, making a grid pattern.
Refrigerate tart for at least 60 minutes.
Xs and Os
Line another cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Reroll remaining dough and cut out Xs and Os.
Place Xs and Os on prepared cookie sheet and refrigerate until firm.
Baking
Preheat oven to 375 F
Using a pastry brush, paint dough with egg wash and sprinkle with
sanding sugar
.
Place both the tart and the cutouts in the oven.
Bake tart until golden brown, about 40-50 minutes. Cutouts will only take about 15-25 minutes.
Make sure to pop the tart out of the pan before it's completely cooled.
Now play a game of Tic Tac Toe to place Xs and Os on the tart!
Notes
Both the tart dough and the jam can be made a day or two in advance. Store both in the refrigerator until ready to assemble tart.
