Servings: persons

1 1/4 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons cold butter
2 tablespoons shortening, chilled
1 large egg yolk
1 to 2 tablespoons ice water
4 cups pitted fresh cherries
1 cup water
1/2 cup red wine, preferably Beaujolais
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons gelatin
3 tablespoons cornstarch
⅓ cup cold water
2 tablespoons kirsch
Baked 9-inch tart shell
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon almond extract

1
Mix flour, sugar and salt together.
2
Cut in butter and shortening with a pastry blender or process in a food processor until the mixture is uniformly crumbly.
3
Mix egg yolk with one tablespoon of the water and stir lightly into the flour mixture until the dough can be gathered into a bowl.
4
Moisten with additional water if necessary.
5
This step can also be done in a food processor, in which case, use a scant tablespoon of water at first.
6
You probably will not need any more water because of the speed with which the machine amalgamates the ingredients.
7
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.
8
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
9
Roll out dough and fit into a nine-inch straight-sided flan ring.
10
Any tears in the somewhat fragile dough can be repaired by simply pressing the edges together or patching them with scraps.
11
Prick the bottom and sides, line the pastry with aluminum foil and weight the foil with dry beans, rice or baking weights.
12
Bake for about seven minutes.
13
Remove foil and continue baking until golden, about 10 minutes longer.
14
Allow to cool before filling.
