Instructions
1. Prepare your choice of fresh berries. Raspberries, strawberries, or black berries are good choices.
2. Beat the eggs and egg yolk in a bowl. Dissolve the corn starch in the lemon and add to the eggs. Stir to blend well.
3. Puree berries and sugar in blender. Strain berries with a fine sieve to remove seeds and any remaining pulp. Pour into a medium saucepan. Add butter and bring to simmer over medium-high heat.
4. Fold hot berry mixture into egg mixture and return to the saucepan. Heat to a simmer and cook until the filling is thick and smooth, stirring constantly.
5. Set aside to cool.
6. Blend flour, sugar and salt together in a medium bowl. Add butter and lemon peel and mix until the dough becomes crumbly. Add lemon juice and stir until the dough begins to form. Form a small ball of dough and flatten it slightly. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
7. Roll to dough to 1/8 inch thickness and line tart pans. Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove and cool.
8. Fill the tart shell with the creamed berry mixture and top with fresh fruit of your choice. You may wish to add a dab of fresh whipped cream and a mint leaf for garnish.
