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
