For the filling, combine the chopped dates, apricots, glacé ginger, dark rum, orange juice, and 50g of the brown sugar in a bowl. Stir well and set aside to soak for at least 30 minutes.

For the pastry, sift the flour and salt into a large bowl. Add the chilled butter and rub in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
💡 نصائح احترافية: Use cold butter for a tender, flaky pastry. - 3
Stir in the egg yolk and gradually add cold water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead lightly on a floured surface, then wrap in cling film and chill for 20 minutes.
💡 نصائح احترافية: Avoid overworking the dough. - 4
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/Gas Mark 6). Grease a 23cm (9-inch) tart tin.

Roll out two-thirds of the chilled pastry and line the prepared tart tin. Trim any excess pastry from the edges.
💡 نصائح احترافية: Roll the pastry evenly to prevent it from shrinking or cracking. - 6
Spoon the soaked fruit filling into the pastry case. Dot the remaining 50g of butter over the filling.
💡 نصائح احترافية: Ensure the filling is evenly distributed. - 7
Roll out the remaining pastry and use it to cover the tart. Crimp the edges to seal, and cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
💡 نصائح احترافية: A lattice top is also a traditional and attractive option. - 8
Brush the top of the tart with the beaten egg glaze. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
💡 نصائح احترافية: If the pastry starts to brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil. - 9
Let the tart cool slightly before serving. It can be served warm or cold, often with a rum butter sauce (made by creaming softened butter with brown sugar and rum).
💡 نصائح احترافية: Rum Nicky is delicious served with custard or cream if not serving with rum butter.
