Ingredients: 5 tablespoons heavy cream,1 large egg, lightly beaten,1/2 teaspoon almond extract,1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract,1/4 cup sugar,1 tablespoon all purpose flour ( GF: use Pamela’s Bread and Flour mix),2 tablespoons finely ground blanched almonds,1 tablespoon Kirsch
Instructions:
- Soft cherries with kirsch and custard in a buttery almond cookie crust… can you resist?
- Patricia Wells is a cooking goddess. Every time I cook one of her recipes, I'm awed by the flawless result. This cherry almond tart is no exception – it is so damned good! If you can get your hands on a pound of cherries, make this tart and you will not be disappointed. At first glance, the recipe may look laborious, but it isn't hard. With the cookie crust, there is not need to chill and roll out dough – the most intimidating part of most tart recipes.
- I never get sick of cherries. Their season so is short and sweet that I enjoy it fully. I don't even feel guilty indulging when Monterey Market has organic cherries from Twin Girl Farms for less than three dollars a pound. I know it is gauche to talk $$, but this deal is too good to deny.
- We are eating at least a couple of pounds of cherries a week around here. Usually they are devoured before one can imagine eating them any way but raw. Yesterday we bought an extra pound just to make Patricia Wells' Cherry Almond Tart.
