    Blackberry tart on a table

    I once had way too many fresh blackberries (and they were not even that sweet), and this blackberry tart was a perfect recipe to use them all to bring out the best in berries! The tart turned out great, with fresh berries bursting in color and flavor in all of their glory, and with the lemon zest adding just the right amount of "oomph".

    So, if you have lots of blackberries, this is the right recipe to use them!

    How to make tart shell

    I have a separate, very detailed tutorial on how to make the sweet tart shell from scratch.  Use 9 inch or 9.5 inch tart pan.  Follow this tutorial's instructions to bake the tart shell.

    How to make sweet tart filling

    In this recipe, we are making sweet blackberry filling for our tart shell.

    In a large bowl, toss 4 cups of blackberries, 1 cup of white sugar, ½ cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest lemon zest. Combine and mix thoroughly. That's it! Your blackberry filling is ready!

    How to assemble and bake blackberry tart

    Spoon this blackberry filling into the cooled tart shell. Top with the remaining 1 cup of blackberries. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons white sugar over the berries, and then sprinkle thinly chopped cold butter on top, too.

    Place the blackberry tart on a rimmed baking sheet (to catch any juices) and bake for 30-40 minutes in the preheated oven at 350 F until filling starts to bubble. If crust starts to brown too much, place a piece of aluminum foil over the tart.

    This blackberry tart becomes even more exceptional when served warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
