Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Make the pastry dough by combining flour, sugar, and salt, then adding cold butter and ice-cold water, mixing until a dough forms.
  3. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch (3 mm) and transfer it to a 9-inch (23 cm) tart pan with a removable bottom.
  4. Chill the dough in the freezer for 10 minutes, then line it with parchment paper and fill with pie weights.
  5. Bake the crust for 15 minutes, then remove the parchment paper and pie weights and continue baking for an additional 5-7 minutes, until golden brown.
  6. Arrange a layer of fresh fruit, such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries, in a pattern on the baked tart crust.
  7. Glaze the fruit with a mixture of apricot jam and water, brushing it gently over the fruit to prevent bruising.
  8. Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the glaze to set.
  9. Serve the tart chilled, garnished with additional fresh fruit if desired
