Dried fruit tart with Blason Rosé
1
Prepare the pastry
  • Mix the ground almonds, flour, icing sugar, vanilla and fleur de sel. Add the softened butter and egg to form a smooth dough.
  • Roll out the pastry and line individual tart tins (around 10cm in diameter). Bake until lightly golden, then leave to cool completely.
2
Make the vanilla syrup and fruit filling
  • Bring the water, sugar and vanilla to the boil to make a syrup.
  • Roughly chop the dates, figs, apricots and prunes, then combine with the raisins, currants, walnuts and olives. Leave the fruit to macerate in the warm vanilla syrup until softened, then drain.
3
Prepare the orange granita
  • Mix the strained orange juice with the lemon juice and sugar. Pour into a shallow tray and freeze, scraping regularly with a fork until a light, crystalline granita forms.
4
Assemble the tart
  • Spoon a little burrata onto each serving plate and place the baked tart shell on top.
  • Fill the tart with the macerated dried fruits and finish with fresh orange segments.
5
Finish and serve
  • Spoon the orange granita into chilled frosted glasses and pour Blason Rosé over the granita just before serving.
  • Serve alongside the tart for a festive pairing that balances rich dried fruits with bright citrus freshness.
Blason Rosé pairs beautifully with dried fruits, walnuts and dates. Its generous fruit, honeyed notes and delicate spice bring freshness and elegance to this festive dessert.
