I made this tart and although my edges were a little jagged (the tart was really stuck to the baking parchment when I took it off), it looked fine and tasted delicious. I would say that it serves 5 people well. Serving it for six left them picking the crumbs and all but licking the plate. It was such a hit that I’m making two this week for a bigger dinner party.

Hi Jennifer,
The tart serves at most 6 people. I think 8 would be almost impossible.
Happy baking!

How many people will this serve, I wonder? After a big dinner, could it serve 6 or 8 people?

I’ll try it with another orange and report back. Though maybe I’ll wait and do it for a smaller audience.

Hi David,
I haven’t made it with anything other than blood oranges. I think it would be quite different with another type of orange. I think the tartness of the blood oranges is pretty important to the overall taste of the tart. If you do give it a try, I would suggest reducing the amount of sugar you use. Also, I wouldn’t count on this tart serving more than 6 people, so if you are making this for a crowd you’re going to need to make a few of them.
Good luck, Tim

Has anyone tried making this with a type of orange besides blood oranges? I’d like to make the tart for a big crowd, but am not sure I want to pay for blood oranges. Do you think another variety would work?

To say that this looks sublime is an understatement. I am SO going to try this for my next fancy pantsy dinner party.

Having made and enjoyed this tart, I want to point out all the extras that can be made from the scraps: candied orange peels, orange syrup (from boiling the peels), orange sugar (from tossing the boiled peels), etc.

thank you for finally helping me find something else to do with blood oranges. The color alone is making me want a piece.

Oh goodness, that looks amazing! I love blood oranges – they’re so beautiful, and so tasty! I am going to try this with tangelos … I have an arsenal of the oranges stashed on top of my fridge. Your photos are fantastic.

Wow, I have to say citrus tarts are not something I see often. But the color of this is so striking. And we have a bunch of blood oranges in the markets here. Thanks for the lovely recipe.l

This looks way too perfect. I love the pop of colour and the brightness that I’m sure exists. Perfection!

Wow, beautiful! Your photographs are always so amazing, any tips on achieving better light for my work? (I have a Canon Rebel XT and the lens it came with)
