Glazed Strawberry Tart

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375F
2. In a bowl, mix the flours, salt, and sugar. Add the butter and work it in until the mixture is the texture of coarse cornmeal. Add the beaten egg and just enough water to make a pliable dough. Alternately mix in a food processor Do not over mix. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight before using. Bring the dough to room temperature.
3. Divide dough in half; freeze one for future use. Roll the dough out to fit a 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Fit the dough to the pan and bake it for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and brush crust immediately with the jam. Set aside to cool completely.
4. Crush 1 cup strawberries in a small saucepan. Add the water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 3 minutes. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer over a bowl. Press on the solids to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids. Add enough water to the juice to make 1 cup. Set aside.
5. Return the saucepan to the burner. Off the heat, combine all but 1 tablespoon of the sugar with the cornstarch. Mix well. Slowly whisk in the strained juice. Bring to a boil and cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, darkens in color and is clear and smooth. Keep warm.
6. Cut the remaining strawberries into slices and arrange them in the pie shell, filling it in entirely. Spoon the glaze evenly over the berries. Chill the pie uncovered for several hours before serving.
7. When ready to serve, whip the cream with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Serve a doll-up on each slice.
