I came up with this recipe specific to this weeks contest - and had a blast doing it! When trying to think of winter fruit, I wanted to be unusual and decided to do something with my quince jelly (canned it in December but you can buy quince jelly or substitute any red jelly as well). I remembered a David Lebovitz recipe where he made 'Easy Jelly Tart'. I never actually made that dessert, but it was the first time I had heard of using a jar of jelly on a tart to make something wonderful! I wanted to expand on that and make it my own so the idea of cinnamon cream cheese came to mind. I thought they would go great together! I referenced a recipe for Cinnamon Cream Cheese Breakfast Bars (on thekitchn.com). I made several variations of the tart always starting with Martha Stewart's Foolproof Pie Crust. (I figured that because Food52.com partnered with her on this weeks contest, that would be OK - I so hope I'm not disqualified!)
