Amazing Currant Tart with Almond Filling

Step-by-step method

At a glance

You're making a stunning summer tart with a buttery pastry crust and a creamy almond filling studded with fresh currants and berries. The main time commitment is chilling the dough for two hours and then baking for about 45-50 minutes, so plan ahead for this one — but the actual hands-on work is pretty straightforward with no tricky techniques involved.

About this recipe

I picked my currants — black and red — plus some jostaberries too. And baked a really lovely tart with them. The inspiration for the filling came from the wonderful Lenka, who made something similar on our last visit, only with strawberries. I'm making the most of this gorgeous summer weather while it lasts.
