Mini Huckleberry Crumb Tarts

I flora this recipe, a spell back, on The Life in addition to Loves of Grumpy's Honeybunch in addition to decided to plough over it a try. I accept used the pastry crunch many times inwards other recipes similar Pecan Tassies, only I never persuasion of using it amongst a fruit filling until Shelby's post....what a dandy idea!!
CRUST

Mix until smooth, roll inwards plastic in addition to chill for an hour.  This dough is lovely in addition to real slowly to piece of job with. While the dough is chilling, brand the huckleberry filling.

BLUEBERRY FILLING

iv cups of blueberries (if frozen - thaw in addition to drain well)
Juice of 1 lemon
3/4 loving cup carbohydrate (Shelby uses Splenda)
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed amongst 1/8 loving cup mutual coldness water

Mix the blueberries, lemon juice in addition to carbohydrate inwards a heavy bottomed saucepan. Bring to a tiresome boil in addition to and thus whisk inwards the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch in addition to H2O mixed together). Keep stiring thus that lumps practise non form. Continue to educate in addition to stir for 1-2 minutes or until real thick.  Remove from oestrus in addition to permit cool.

CRUMB TOPPING

1 loving cup all piece of job flour

three tablespoons butter at room temperature

Work these ingredients together, amongst your fingers, until you lot larn a soft crumbly texture.

NOTE: This makes a TON of crumb topping. I cutting the ingredients inwards one-half in addition to I STILL had also much topping, thus I pose the residue inwards the freezer for my adjacent baking project.

ASSEMBLY

Roll the chilled dough into 1" balls (this recipe makes close 20-24 tarts). Place each ball of dough into ungreased mini-cupcake pan.

Use a tart tamper (or anything inwards your kitchen that has a large rounded terminate that you lot tin use) to tamp downward the dough, making certain the dough comes upwardly on the sides of each tart. You tin also utilization your fingers to brand a low inwards the dough ball in addition to piece of job the pastry crust upwardly the sides of the tart well.

Fill each tart amongst the cooled huckleberry filling in addition to a generous teaspoon of the crumb topping.

Bake inwards a pre-heated 375 oven for 15-20 minutes (my oven took 25 minutes) or until the crust gets a prissy golden color. Let the tarts COOL IN THE PAN for 10-15 minutes earlier lifting them out.

NOTE: I love versatile recipes similar this one. I intend ANY fruit filling would piece of job good here; I'm trying apple tree next!!
