Ingredients

For the crust

For the filling:

  • 3 cups fresh rhubarb, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 16 ounces fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and diced
  • 1/2 cup sweetened whipped cream (optional)

Instructions

For the crust:

  • Whisk the flour and salt together in a large bowl, then cut the shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
  • Slice the butter thinly, and toss the slices in the flour mixture to coat.
  • Add in the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough begins to come together in a ball.
  • Wrap the dough tightly and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Sprinkle work surface and rolling pin with flour and roll the dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Fold in thirds, and roll to 1/2-inch thick again. Turn 90 degrees, and repeat one more time. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thick, cut 4-inch diameter rounds with a biscuit cutter, and lay the rounds over the backside of a muffin tin and prick with a fork.
  • Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees F.

For the filling:

  • Combine the rhubarb with the sugar and cornstarch, in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until the rhubarb is soft and the compote is thickened.
  • Cool completely, then fold in fresh strawberries.

Assemble the tarts:

  • Spoon a few tablespoons of filling into each tart shell and top with sweetened whipped cream.
