1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 to 2 tablespoons water ice
1 8-ounce package cream cheese softened
1/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons lemon peels grated or orange rind
2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
1 10-ounce jar apricot preserves (about 3/4 cup)
1/4 cup water
1/2 pint strawberries rinsed, hulled and halved (reserve 1 whole berry)
1 peaches large, peeled, pitted and thinly sliced
1/2 cup green seedless grapes rinsed, dried and halved
1/2 banana sliced
In a medium bowl mix flour and sugar. With a pastry blender or two knives cut in butter until pieces are the size of small peas. Stir in egg, vanilla and water; toss with a fork until uniformly moistened. Press dough firmly into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.

In a small mixer bowl at low speed beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in rind and juice. Spread evenly in crust and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until a knife inserted 1 inch from center comes out clean. Cool.
In a small saucepan mix preserves and water. Over medium-high heat bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Press through a sieve; cool.
Rim outside circle of tart with strawberries followed by increasingly smaller rings of peaches, grapes and banana. Place whole strawberry in center.
