Knead the flour, sugar, butter, egg yolk and possibly 1 tablespoon of ice water into a smooth short pastry. Put in a cool place for about 30 minutes. Grease a springform pan (26 cm Ø). Roll out the dough thinly and line the bottom and the rim (2-3 cm high) with it. Prick the base several times with a fork. Put baking paper on the dough and fill in peas.
Pre-bake the short pastry in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 200°C/ gas: level 3) for approx. 20 minutes (insert deep). In the meantime drain cherries and pineapple for the filling. Cut the pineapple into pieces. Melt the fat and let it cool down. Separate eggs, beat egg white until stiff, add 25 g sugar. Mix egg yolk, remaining sugar, quark, pudding powder and lemon peel. Carefully fold in butter and beaten egg white. Lift baking paper and peas out of the tin. Spread the drained fruit on the pre-baked base. Pour curd mixture on top. Bake in the preheated oven (electric: 175°C/ gas: level 2) for approx. 45 minutes.
