The Chew: Affordable Dessert

Carla Hall shared her Rustic Blueberry Tart Recipe on The Chew’s $10 Tuesday show, as the final course in a meal you can make on a budget. For the other recipes, get Michael’s Tuna Shells and Mario’s Almond Crusted Scallopini.

Cold butter helps to make for a flaky crust, and it won’t stick to the blade of your food processor. If you don’t want to make your own crust, you can buy one that is pre-made.

A pinch of salt helps to balance the sweetness, which is just the way Carla Hall likes her desserts. Blueberries mix well with Lemon, but they also work with Orange, as seen in this recipe.
