    I just made this with freshly picked blackberries from our yard and it was amazing! Beautiful and delicious. Mine cooked in 30 minutes, too, and got a little too brown. Next time I will lower the temperature to 350 and see what happens.

    this was very easy to make and received rave reviews but mine cooked in 30 minutes should the temp really have been 375?

    The preserves soften the cookie crust so make sure you put the preserves on the cake several hours prior to serving. When i first made it we held off putting the glaze on because we wanted the fruit to be as fresh as possible, however the preserves soak into the cake and make it really soft and delicious.

    Make sure to roll out the dough and just don't hand press it in to make sure it is even around the bottom and edges, the actual crust not franngiopane could maybe use a bit more moisture, but i just tried to hand press it into the tart pan versus roll it out and cut it, that could have made the difference

    Simple to make and everyone liked it.

    just added this recipe to my favorites as i am coming back to it for a third time.

    my variants included replacing 1/4 of the almonds with macadamia nuts, roasted for a shorter period of time (to avoid burning with the almonds. great flavor.

    one tart was of pears, cored and sliced to 1/16th in. on the mandoline and placed to some effect in a spiral on the top of the tart. another was of in-season blackberries and raspberries with the apricot glaze. awesome.

    adding a thick layer of a quick creamy custard on top off the nut paste layer as a bed for the fruit proved ideal.

    tonight's tart will be of mandarin oranges and raspberries with the apricot glaze. and another pear, this time paper thin.

    this is a great recipe to launch your creations. your audience will think you are a genius. 5 stars.

    This is yummy!!! I usually use all strawberries instead of the mixed fruit. But it's delicous both ways.

    I've made this tart several times and everytime it seems to get better. I get requests from everyone I've made it for to PLEASE make it again. It's become my signature recipe that I bring whenever I'm asked to bring dessert to a friend's house. The almonds really make the flavor pop against the sweet fruit. I highly recommend trying this recipe.
