  • Half and seed the concord grapes, set aside.
  • Brown the butter and set aside to cool.
  • While waiting for the butter to cool, mix together the sugar, eggs, and flour.
  • Slowly whisk in the cooled brown butter scraping the browned bits at the bottom of the pan.
  • Evenly spread the concord grape jam on the bottom of the spiced walnut crust.
  • Pour and evenly spread the brown butter filling on top of the jam.
  • Place the concord grape halves on top of the brown butter filling. No need to press down.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes rotating halfway through or until the center of the tart is firm and browned.
  • Cool completely before slicing and serving.
