| 1. Cranberry Filling: In a sauce pan, dissolve cornstarch into cold cranberry juice. Add sugar, cranberries and orange zest, then cook on high, stirring until bubbly (approx. 6 min). Reduce heat and simmer 20 min, until thickened. Set aside. | 2. Nut Topping: Combine all ingredients and set aside. | 3. Brown Sugar-Shortbread Crust : In a mixer, with paddle attachment, cream butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy (approx. 4 minutes). | 4. Turn off mixer from time to time and, using a rubber spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure ingredients are well blended. Incorporate dry ingredients. | 5. Add water to make dough easier to handle, if dough is dry and crumbly. Do not overwork. | 6. On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1/3” thickness. Cut 12, 4” rounds with a cookie cutter or the mouth of a glass (I use my trusty tortilla press!). If needed, gather excess dough and roll again. | 7. Press rounds into a small 12-muffin tin (1/3 cup muffin size) to form the tart crusts. | 8. Fill each crust with cranberry filling and top with nut mixture. | 9. Bake at 375 degrees approximately 20 minutes. | 10. Cool completely, remove from muffin tin and garnish with powdered sugar, if desired. | 11. Note: These tarts are traditionally served with (cultured) sour cream. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
