1 cup grated or finely chopped almonds (start with 1 1/2 cup to grate, then measure 1 cup)
1/4 cup red raspberry jam
GLAZE:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2-3 teaspoons lemon juice, or enough to make glaze drizzle

  • If you don't have a food processor, you can also make the marzipan filling by hand. Simply chop the almonds finely and then mix them with the sugar and butter until well combined.
  • To prevent the tart crust from becoming soggy, make sure to blind bake it before filling it with the marzipan and raspberries.
  • For a shiny glaze, brush the tart with apricot preserves before baking.
  • Serve the tart warm or at room temperature.
