RASPBERRY FRANGIPANE TARTS
It is said that the name Frangipane comes from a 16th century Italian Marquis called Muzio Frangipani. Whether this is true I do not know … I do know that this simple frangipane recipe works. I like to call it the Italian version of our Dutch almond paste (amandelspijs) mainly used in Christmas stollen and speculaas.
I made these tarts the first time to practice for Christmas when I wanted to bake a nice bakewell tart with marzipan in which frangipane is also used. I found that for me tart fruits like raspberries work best with frangipane. Raspberries have a nice sharpness that combines perfect with the sweetness of the frangipane. Pears are sweet and when combined with more sweet it is just a little less interesting to the pallet. If you like sweet, don’t let this stop you of course. I think apricots would also work very well, maybe cherries and certain plums or apples and of course cranberries.
