A delicious raspberry and almond tart . .
I thought I'd share with you the little tart I made recently for my sister-in-law.
I think you're going to like it.
It's just a simple little tart with a bottom made of flaky, buttery, sweet shortcrust pastry. A middle filled with soft fluffy almonds, and a crown of plump fresh raspberries.
Served with some thick double cream...do you really need anything more?
A little note on maple syrup: A good-quality, pure maple syrup is 100 per cent natural. It's sweeter than cane sugar and has fewer calories. It contains manganese, zinc and natural antioxidants which makes it good for your immune system as well as providing a slow -releasing energy.
However, it does still contain fructose.
Just a little tip for those of you, like me, looking to keep your fructose intake down.
