Tuesdays with Dorie: Sour Cream Pumpkin Tart

 

      Thanks to Judy, from Judy's Gross Eats, for her pick of Sour Cream Pumpkin Tart, found on page 324 of Dorie Greenspan's Baking from My Home to Yours cookbook.  Click here for the recipe.  Judy is all about travel, reading, good eating, and loves to cook for her daughter...I always enjoy visiting Judy's blog to see what's going on at her place. 

      My husband is a big fan of pumpkin pie, so I knew I would get around to making this recipe at some point this week, let's see, it was due on Tuesday and I finally found time on Saturday.  

      I made a small 6" tart size, which took a fourth of the dough recipe and a scant fourth of the filling recipe as well.  Mark was very happy with it, I had a small bit and it was nicely spiced, and you could also definitely taste the rum in the mix, a nice little punch of extra flavor.  Definitely a repeat, I still have pumpkin left over, and I still have more tart crust to use, so this may be happening again here before mid-week.  Thanks, Judy...a big hit with the pumpkin eater here.   

        Next week:  My choice actually as I was asked to host again before the whole thing winds up at the end of the month:  Honey Almond Fig Tart, on page 373, I will say right now, however, that fresh figs are not in season, and nary a one to be found around here, so I will be using one of the alternative suggestions for fruit.  The other recipe for next week is:  Earl Grey Madeleines, page 169.  The   TWD blogroll found here.
