# What You Need:

→ Shortbread Crust

01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
04 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
05 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Cranberry-Orange Curd

07 - 4 large egg yolks, at room temperature
08 - 1 large egg, at room temperature
09 - 12 ounces fresh cranberries
10 - 1 cup granulated sugar
11 - 1 large orange, zested and juiced
12 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
13 - 1 pinch salt
14 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
02 - Combine flour, 1/4 cup sugar, ground ginger, and salt in a mixing bowl. Add melted butter and vanilla extract, mixing until a thick dough forms. Press the dough evenly into the base and up the sides of the prepared tart pan. Set tart pan on a large baking sheet.
03 - Bake the crust in the preheated oven until golden, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
04 - In a large bowl, beat together egg yolks and whole egg with an electric mixer until smooth. Set aside.
05 - Combine cranberries and 1 cup sugar in a large saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until cranberries burst and sugar dissolves, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
06 - Transfer cranberry mixture to a blender. Add orange zest, orange juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Cover, venting the lid, and blend at low speed until smooth. Gradually whisk the cranberry purée into the egg mixture in a slow stream, whisking constantly.
07 - Pour the curd filling into the baked crust. Bake in the preheated oven until the curd is set around the edges but slightly jiggles in the center, about 20 to 25 minutes.
08 - Allow tart to cool to room temperature in the pan, about 30 to 60 minutes, before removing and slicing. Serve as desired.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Frozen cranberries can be substituted for fresh if needed.
