I found this recipe in an old Gourmet Magazine from the 60's. I created a different tart dough to play the nuttiness off the caramel, vanilla notes and tartness of the cranberries. This festive tart is beautiful to look at and so delicious as well. Room temperature or warm,make sure you serve your tart with a dollop of fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
