I was thinking about an almond/cherry tart for Easter but this is a tempting recipe. I wonder how it would work with frozen sweet cherries? You can find them everywhere and they are really good.

This sounds like a tart that my best friend's german grandmother used to make for us years ago. I haven't seen it since. Saved to make for easter! Great post, peeta!
