- Remove foil and continue baking until golden, about 10 minutes more.
Filling

Pour into a medium size saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the custard comes to a slow boil. Stir in the liqueur. Place plastic wrap over surface of custard and chill.
- Heat the sieved apricot preserves and spread over top of fruits with a pastry brush. Chill until serving time.
Assembly
- Spread custard over bottom of pre-baked pie shell. Arrange raspberries in the center and place slices of peeled kiwi around the outer edge of the tart.
