Instructions
To prepare crust, weigh or lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife.
Combine flour, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; cut in 3 tablespoons butter and shortening with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal.
Sprinkle surface with ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time; toss with a fork until moist and crumbly (do not form a ball). Press mixture gently into a 5-inch circle on plastic wrap; cover. Chill 1 hour.
Roll into an 11-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Fit dough into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press dough against bottom and sides of pan. Chill in freezer 10 minutes.
Line bottom of dough with a piece of foil; arrange pie weights or dried beans on foil.
Bake at 375 for 15 minutes or until edge is lightly browned. Carefully remove pie weights and foil; bake an additional 7 minutes or until center is lightly browned. Cool 1 minute on a wire rack.
To prepare filling, combine quince paste and 1 tablespoon juice in a food processor; process until smooth.
