Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ cups fresh cranberries
¾ cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs
½ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
1 pre-made tart crust (9-inch)
½ cup pomegranate seeds
¼ cup water

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the tart crust in a pie pan and poke holes in the bottom. Bake for 15 minutes until lightly golden.
In a medium saucepan, combine cranberries, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat until cranberries burst and form a sauce (about 10 minutes).
Remove from heat; let cool slightly. Whisk in butter until melted, then add eggs one by one while stirring vigorously.
Pour cranberry mixture into baked tart shell and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least two hours. Top with pomegranate seeds before serving.
