BLUEBERRY ALMOND TART WITH FRANGIPANE
This lovely tart comes from the wonderful breakfast and brunch cookbook, Morning Glories by Donna Leahy. When I made this I used coconut macaroons and then when I went back and looked at the title, I realized she intended for the recipe to use almond macaroons - oops! Anyway, it was still really good. Next time I'll use almond macaroons; I'll also add a bit of cinnamon to the blueberry filling.

Steps:
- Frangipane:.
- in a medium saucepan, bring the milk and vanilla to a boil. Set aside.
- In another saucepan, combine the flour, sugar, and beaten egg yolks.
- Gradually add the hot milk till combined.
- Cook slowly over low heat, stirring constantly, till cream thickens.
- (at this point, I put it through a strainer to get rid of any cooked-egg lumps).
- Pour the cream into a bowl and stir in the crushed macaroons. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Crust:.
- Preheat oven to 350. Using a mixer, cream together the butter and sugar; add the egg yolks, almond extract and lemon zest. Beat till smooth.
- Add the flour and baking powder and mix well.
- Using a 9 or 10 inch tart or springform pan with removable bottome, press 2/3 of the dough in the bottom of the pan with your fingers and work the dough up the rim about 1/2 inch. Set the remaining dough aside (refrigerating is a good idea - it may help rolling out later).
- Filling:.
- in a medium bowl, mix together the sugar, flour and cornstarch. Stir in the blueberries, sprinkle with lemon (and cinnamon if desired)and toss to coat blueberries evenly.
- Assembly:.
- spread an even layer of the frangipane in the bottom of the crust, using just enough to cover.
- Pour in the blueberry mixture and dot the top with 2 T of butter.
- On a floured surface, roll out the remaining dough to 1/16 inch thick (I found this dough quite moist and fragile, so sprinkle with flour).
- Cut strips of dough 1/2 inch wide and arrange them diagonally, 1/2 inch apart, to form a lattice top. Trim away overhanging dough.
- Bake for 40 minutes or till lightly browned.
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.

BLUEBERRY FRANGIPANE TART
Steps:
- For the crust: Pulse to combine the flour, sugar, and salt in the work bowl of a food processor. Drop in the butter pieces, and pulse just until the dough comes together in clumps, about ten to fifteen pulses. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Let the crust rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Combine the almond paste and sugar in the same food-processor bowl (no need to wash it). Process until you have fine crumbs, then crack in the eggs and sprinkle in flour. Process until smooth.
- Spread the almond filling in an even layer in the chilled tart shell. Top with the blueberries, and sprinkle with the pine nuts. Bake until the crust is deep golden brown and the filling is set, about 1 hour to 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Steps:
- For filling:
- Combine 2 baskets berries, sugar, and lemon juice in heavy medium saucepan. Coarsely mash berries. Stir over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves and mixture boils and thickens, about 7 minutes. Whisk yolks and cornstarch in medium bowl. Gradually whisk in half of hot berry mixture; return to pan. Stir over medium-high heat until mixture boils and thickens, about 3 minutes. Whisk in butter and lemon peel. Transfer filling to bowl. Cover and chill overnight.
- For crust:
- Lightly butter 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Blend flour, 1/4 cup sliced almonds, sugar, and salt in processor until almonds are finely ground. Add butter; using on/off turns, cut in until mixture resembles coarse meal. Whisk egg yolk and almond extract in small bowl; add to processor and blend until moist clumps form. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Press dough onto bottom and up sides of prepared pan. Pierce crust all over with fork; freeze 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line crust with foil; fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until crust is set, about 12 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Bake until crust is golden, about 18 minutes longer. Cool crust completely on rack.
- Spread filling in crust; sprinkle remaining 2 baskets berries over. Stir currant jelly in small saucepan over medium heat until melted; brush over berries. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons sliced almonds around edge of tart. Cover loosely with foil and chill at least 2 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
- Remove pan sides. Place tart on platter. Serve cold or at room temperature.
