Nantucket Cranberry Tart
While everyone is enjoying their Christmas dinner, this eye-catching tart can be baking to perfection in the oven. The pretty holiday dessert calls for very few ingredients, and it’s a snap to assemble. This fantastic dessert combines fresh cranberries and sliced almonds, baked under an almond-flavored cake.
It’s very simple to prepare! You’ll start by coating fresh cranberries and sliced almonds with granulated sugar. Then pour the mixture into the bottom of a greased tart pan with removeable sides. Next, you’ll mix up a simple batter of sugar, eggs, melted butter, flour and a splash of almond extract. Spoon the batter over the top of the berries and almonds – then bake at a low oven temperature until cooked through.
Best served straight out of the oven (or, if you bake it ahead of time, warmed back up before serving) this Nantucket Cranberry Tart is really a wonderful dessert. Cranberries and almonds are a flavor match-made-in-heaven, and you’ll love the sweet-tart cranberries and crunchy almonds in every bite.
