Yield Makes ten 4-inch tarts

Number Of Ingredients 17

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into pieces and chilled
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 large egg yolks
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
2/3 cup blanched whole almonds, toasted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon dark rum
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2/3 cup sour cherry jam
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Make the tart shells: In bowl of food processor, combine butter and granulated sugar and process until smooth. Add egg yolks, salt, and vanilla and process until combined, about 30 seconds. Add 1 cup flour and process until smooth. Add remaining 1 cup flour; process to combine. Turn dough out onto plastic wrap and form into a flat square; wrap tightly and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. Wipe clean food processor bowl.
  • Make the filling: In bowl of food processor, add almonds and granulated sugar and process until finely ground. Add butter, egg, flour, rum, salt, and almond extract, and process until frangipane is smooth.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll out chilled dough to a 1/4-inch-thickness. Using a 4 1/2-inch round cutter, cut out 10 circles, re-rolling dough as necessary. Fit each circle into a 4-inch round fluted tart pan with removable bottom, and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Fill each tart shell with 1 tablespoon jam, then top with about 2 tablespoons frangipane; place on parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet. (You will have about 1/4 cup frangipane leftover.) Bake until golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Remove tarts from pans.
  • Make the glaze: Sift confectioners' sugar into a bowl. Stir in lemon juice to combine. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip. Pipe glaze onto tarts as desired.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality jam. The flavor of the jam will shine through in the tarts, so it's important to use a jam that you love. Look for a jam that is thick and flavorful, with a good balance of sweetness and tartness.
  • Don't overwork the pastry. Overworking the pastry will make it tough. Work the pastry just until it comes together, then stop. If the pastry is too dry, add a little bit of water. If the pastry is too wet, add a little bit of flour.
  • Chill the pastry before baking. Chilling the pastry will help it to hold its shape in the oven. Chill the pastry for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake the tarts until the pastry is golden brown. The pastry should be golden brown and the jam should be bubbling. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the tarts cool completely before serving. The tarts need to cool completely before serving, otherwise the jam will be too runny. Let the tarts cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
