This recipe is higher in sugar and fat, but it is a great treat to make for dessert, and the nectarines are a good source of vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium. These nutrients can help improve metabolism, digestion, and heart health. The other berries in this also provide other vitamins, while the dough provides fiber and energy.
You can always use other fruits like plums, apricots, or even more berries!

Ingredients
for
4
- For the pastry
- 1.333 cups gluten-free all purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 0.333 cup butter
- 1 egg
- For the filling
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 3 Nectarine (cut into wedges)
- 9 ozs mixed Berry (e. g. raspberries and blueberries)
- 2 Tbsps sugar
- ½ cup Mascarpone
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- powdered sugar (for dusting)
Preparation steps
1.
Heap the flour, sugar and salt on a work surface. Make a well in the centre and arrange the butter in flakes around the edge. Break the egg into the centre and knead the ingredients to a smooth dough. Wrap in cling film and chill for 1 hour.
2.
Heat the oven to 400°F. Butter 8" round baking dish and dust with flour.
3.
Roll out about 2/3 of the pastry on a floured surface and line the baking dish. Roll out the remaining dough into a 'sausage' about 1" thick. Wrap in cling film and chill.
4.
Line the pastry base with greaseproof paper and weigh it down with baking beans or rice. Bake for 15 minutes then leave to cool and remove the baking beans and paper.
5.
For the filling: drizzle lemon juice over the nectarines and berries and stir through the sugar.
6.
Beat together the mascarpone, sugar and egg yolk. Spread the mixture evenly over the pastry and top with the fruit.
7.
Remove the pastry roll from the refrigerator and flatten slightly with a rolling pin. Arrange in uneven waves around the edge of the tart and bake for a further 20-30 minutes until golden.
8.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm or cold, dusted with icing sugar.
