Cherry Orange Almond Tart
A fragrant and lovely tart for all year round as we are using the jarred Morello cherries. Then add a hint of orange, some almond goodness, vanilla...
Cherry and almonds are really a flavour pairing that is hard to resist. This tart is using almond based pastry, as well as almonds on top and if you really want you can add almond essence to the cherry mix. YUM.
If you use fresh cherries, it will entirely change the balance of flavour with this pie, and I have not written instructions for it, so if you do, you are on your own. A fresh cherry pie is definitely on my summer hit list though, so stay tuned.
In the meantime, this pie can be made easily all year round with the jarred cherries that are so readily available in Australia.
Happy desserting!
