Bonjour à tous,

Raspberries  are a favorite of mine and it is raspberry season here in SW France. Note if you cannot get fresh raspberries, frozen will be fine.

  8. Fold in the ground almonds and flour and set aside.
  9. Spread the raspberry preserves over the pastry (to cover the bottom surface) and dollop on the Frangipane mixture.
  10. Spread and smooth the creamy filling and dot the surface with the fresh raspberries.
  11. Place the tart in the oven and allow to bake for 30 minutes.
  12. When the tart is baked, remove from the oven and allow to come to room temperature before serving.

  1. Beautiful. Raspberries are my favorite also. I especially enjoy them with chocolate, or mixed with vanilla yogurt. My husband and I plan to move to Southwest France next May. I'm afraid I may miss raspberry season. Maybe I'll move the date forward to April.
    Each Monday, I post a blog meme called Dreaming of France. I'd love it if you played along. Here’s my Dreaming of France meme
