From bondc 16 years agoIngredients

- 1/2 c. sugar shopping list
- 1 c. butter, room temperature shopping list
- 1 1/2 c. flour shopping list
- 1 egg shopping list
- Tart filling: shopping list
- 1 c. sour cherries (drained, if using canned) shopping list
- 1/2 c. heavy cream shopping list
- 4 T. powdered sugar shopping list

- 1 t. almond extract shopping list
- 1/2 c. toasted slivered almonds (reserve half for garnish) shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Make the dough. Mix together the flour and sugar. Mix in the butter, then the egg, just until it starts to hold together (this is like cookie dough). Form into a ball, wrap tightly in Saran Wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Butter first the sides of the tart rings, place the bottoms in, and butter the bottoms (ALWAYS do this). Press the dough into the rings, then prick all over with a fork. Bake for 15 minutes, then check. If the bottoms have insisted on puffing up, which they often do, prick the bottoms again to release the air and bake the shells an additional 10 minutes.
- Grind half of the almonds finely. Whip the cream with the powdered sugar until stiff. Blend in the mascarpone, the ground almonds, and the almond extract. I had bought sour cherries at the Amish farmer's market, pitted them, and then frozen them, so they were rather misshapen, so I mixed them in with the filling, and piled it into the shells. If you're using drained canned cherries or fresh from the market, pile the filling into the shells then arrange the cherries on top. Garnish with the toasted slivered almonds.
