Frangipane Tart

Frangipane is a sweet, almond-flavored filling commonly used in pastries and tarts. It is made from a mixture of almond paste, butter, sugar, eggs and a bit of flour.

Almonds and raspberries are a match made in heaven!

How to glaze the raspberries (optional)…

Glazed fruit on tarts creates a sparkling, stunning and appetizing finish. The fruit is coated with a shiny glaze made from raspberry jelly, giving it a glossy, reflective surface. This glaze enhances the vibrant colors of the fruit, making them look fresh and inviting. The glaze also adds a subtle sweetness and helps to preserve the fruit’s appearance and texture, ensuring it remains beautifully glossy and appealing for longer.

• Make sure that the filling is completely cooled.
• You will need about 1 tablespoon raspberry jelly for every cup of raspberries. This recipe will usually take about 4 cups of raspberries, so you will need 4 tablespoons of jelly.
• Heat jelly until it liquefies. This will only take 20 seconds or so in the microwave.
• Gently toss the melted jelly with the raspberries. Raspberries are fragile, so take care.
• Arrange the fruit atop the completely cooled filling.

The liquefied jelly may also be applied with soft strokes of a silicone pastry brush after arranging the fruit over the fillingl.
