How to Make Lemon Fruit Tart

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Position rack in the lower third.
Roll out pastry dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Gently press into the pan, trim and crimp the edges.
Blind bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden and no longer raw-looking. Use pie weights or dried beans to prevent puffing.
Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack while preparing the filling.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs until light and frothy.
Gradually whisk in ¾ cup granulated sugar until fully incorporated.
Add ¼ cup fresh lime juice and zest of 1 lime; whisk until combined.
In a separate bowl, melt ¼ cup unsalted butter. Let cool slightly, then whisk into the egg mixture.
Pour the lime filling into the pre-baked tart shell.
Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully removing the tart ring.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely to room temperature.
Gently heat ½ cup apricot jam (recipe #246688) until melted and smooth. Do not boil.
In a large bowl, toss 2 cups fresh mango chunks and 1 cup seasonal berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, or peaches) with the warm apricot glaze.
Arrange the fruit mixture attractively over the cooled tart.
Serve the tart on the same day for optimal flavor and texture.
