Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup butter, cold and cubed
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries
• 2 Tbsp orange zest
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350° F (180° C).
2. In a food processor, pulse together the flour, powdered sugar, and cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch tart pan, ensuring it covers the sides and corners evenly.
4. Bake the crust for 15 to 18 minutes, until it turns lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
5. In a small saucepan, combine dried cranberries, orange zest, orange juice, and powdered sugar. Cook over medium heat until cranberries burst and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.
6. Spread the thickened cranberry mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
7. Refrigerate the tart for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the tart to set.
8. Slice the tart and serve chilled.
