2 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar

1. Shortly before assembling and baking your rustic tart, combine the cranberries, the sugar, the crystallized ginger, the flour, the vanilla and a big pinch of salt in a bowl. Toss gently but thoroughly to combine well.

2. Use the graham cracker crumbs to sprinkle on the bottom of the tart, per the tart instructions.
