Category: Desserts, Cakes & Pies

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup almonds, finely ground
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp grated lemon rind
¼ tsp salt
6 Tbsp (3/4 stick) cold butter, cut into pieces
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup seedless raspberry or strawberry jam
1 tsp lemon juice
2 pints strawberries, hulled and sliced
Sweetened whipped cream (optional)


1. Stir together flour, almonds, sugar, lemon rind and salt in a large bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender or 2 knives, until coarse crumbs form.
2. Whisk together egg and vanilla in a small bowl; stir into flour mixture until a dough forms. Shape into a disk. Wrap in plastic; refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
3. Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a baking sheet. Place dough on baking sheet; pat into a 10” circle, forming a high edge. Pierce bottom of dough all over with a fork. Bake until slightly browned, about 25 minutes. Place baking sheet on a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes; transfer shell to rack to cool completely.
4. Melt jam with lemon juice in a small saucepan over low heat until spreadable. Spread ½ cup jam mixture over bottom of shell. Arrange berries on top, cut side down. Brush with remaining jam mixture. Serve with whipped cream on the side, if desired.
