Ingredients

¾ pound barberries, stripped from their stalks
6 ounces fine brown sugar
2 tablespoons water
pastry for lining the dish

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

Prepare

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a dish lined with pastry, layer the barberries and sugar in alternate layers.
Pour the water over the layers.

Bake

Cover the tart and bake for 30 minutes.
