How to Make Gingered Strawberry Tart

  1. In a food processor, combine 1 ½ cups gingersnap crumbs, 2 teaspoons sugar, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter.
  2. Process until well combined.
  3. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch or 10-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom.
  4. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
  5. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon ground ginger (optional), and ¼ cup granulated sugar.
  6. Stir in 2 cups sliced strawberries and ½ cup water.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  8. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 4-6 minutes, or until the filling has thickened, stirring occasionally.
  9. Remove from heat and let cool completely for at least 30 minutes.
  10. Pour the cooled strawberry filling into the prepared gingersnap crust.
  11. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is set.
  12. Arrange fresh strawberry slices over the filling.
  13. In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat 2 tablespoons of your favorite jam on high for 15-20 seconds, or until pourable. (Alternatively, gently heat on the stovetop).
  14. Brush the jam over the arranged strawberries for a glossy finish.
  15. Carefully remove the sides of the tart pan.
  16. Top with whipped cream, if desired.
  17. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
