                There is no question that the current recipe for "perfect nut crust" is incorrect.  The proportions given would work for a 8 inch tart shell pan, but certainly not for a 10 inch pan.  I increased the ingredients by 25%:  1 1/4 cups flour, 8 tbs butter, 4 3/8 ounces chopped walnuts, 1 extra large egg yolk, 1 1/4 tsp salt, 1 1/4 tsp vanilla, and 2 1/2 tbs sugar.  Holsen forgot to mention how much walnuts to use in the old nut crust recipe from "Entertaining" recipe, not seen on this site.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 envelopes (1/4 ounce each) unflavored gelatin
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 6 cups fresh cranberries
  • 1 3/4 cups to 2 cups sugar, to taste
  • 1 cup red currant jelly
  • 2 tablespoons cognac
  • Perfect Nut Crust

Directions

Sprinkle gelatin over water in a small bowl; let stand until softened, about 5 minutes.

Combine cranberries, sugar, jelly, and cognac in a saucepan and cook over low heat until cranberries are soft but not bursting, 12 to 15 minutes. Do not overcook or the mixture will become too watery. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Stir in gelatin mixture and let cool completely.

Pour cranberry filling into cooled tart shell and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
