Linzer Torte (or Tart) Recipe

This is a wonderfully spiced almond pastry, filled with an enhanced raspberry jam. It's simple, delicious, and both the dough and the whole baked tart can be made ahead and frozen. A great addition to the holiday table, for Valentine's day or just because.

Ingredients:

For the dough:

  • 2 cups (265g) all-purpose or cake flour
  • Scant ½ cup (60g) graham crackers crumbs or fine dry breadcrumbs
  • 1 ½ cups (170g) whole almonds, ground
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Several gratings nutmeg
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, slightly softened
  • ⅔ cup (130g) regular sugar
  • 1 egg
  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon or 1 orange (or both)
  • For the filling:

  • ½ cup raspberry preserves (the best quality you can afford)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
  • *OR use 1 ¼ cups good raspberry preserves only
