Blushing Fruit Tarts with Amaretto Truffle Sauce

Directions

• Place the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor. Cover and pulse until blended. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. While processing, gradually add egg yolks until dough forms a ball. Divide dough into five portions; wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until easy to handle.
• Roll out four portions into 6-in. circles. Press into 4-in. fluted tart pans with removable bottoms. Trim edges. Line unpricked pastry shells with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Fill with dried beans, uncooked rice or pie weights. Place on a baking sheet.
• Bake at 400° for 8 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake 4 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack. Meanwhile, crumble remaining pastry; toss with almonds and sugar. Set aside.
• In a small saucepan, combine the apricots, cranberries, cherries, sugar and 3/4 cup Amaretto. Bring to a boil. Add blueberries; cook 10 minutes longer. Combine cornstarch and remaining Amaretto until smooth. Gradually stir into pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
• Pour into crusts; sprinkle with crumbled pastry. Bake at 400° 10-15 minutes longer or until topping is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
• Place baking chips in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream just to a boil. Pour over chips; whisk until smooth. Stir in Amaretto. Cool, stirring occasionally. Drizzle over tarts.
