Smucker's® Favorite Strawberry Tart

1 recipe Classic Crisco® Crust (or 1 refrigerated pie crust)
1 egg white, lightly beaten
1 3-ounce package instant pudding (vanilla, butterscotch or white chocolate flavor)
1 1/4 cups milk
1 quart strawberries, hulled, washed and dried with a paper towel
1 cup Smucker's Strawberry Jam
Whipped topping, if desired

For Classic Crisco Crust:
1 1/3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 Crisco Stick or 1/2 cup Crisco All-Vegetable Shortening
3 tablespoons cold water

Directions for Crust:

1. In a medium bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in Crisco using a pastry blender or 2 knives, until all flour is blended and mixture forms pea-sized chunks. Sprinkle with water, one tablespoon at a time. Toss lightly with a fork until dough forms a ball.

2. Press dough between hands to form a large “pancake”. Flour dough lightly. Roll into a circle between sheets of waxed paper on a dampened countertop. Peel off top sheet. Ease crust into 10-inch tart pan, and trim edges to fit.

Directions for Tart:

1. Preheat oven to 375°. Thoroughly prick bottom and sides of crust with a fork. Using a pastry brush, paint egg white all over crust. Bake crust for 10 -12 minutes, or until lightly browned. Allow to cool.

2. While crust is baking, prepare pudding using the 1 1/4 cups milk (less than is specified on the box of pudding). When crust is cooled, spoon the pudding mixture into the crust. Arrange strawberries, stem end down, on top of pudding.

3. Melt the jam in the microwave for 30 seconds on medium power. Stir, then microwave an additional 30 seconds to thoroughly melt. Using a clean pastry brush, paint strawberries with jam, then drizzle any remaining jam over the tart.

4. Refrigerate tart until serving time. Serve with whipped topping, if desired.
