Grandma Monette's Cherry Jam Tart
- 1 1/4 cups high-quality cherry preserves
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 stick salted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pan
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 large egg, plus 1 egg yolk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- Grated zest of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of ground cloves
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Make the filling: Combine the cherry preserves and lemon juice in a bowl, stirring to break up any clumps.
- Make the crust: Butter a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
- Cream the butter and sugar in a bowl with a mixer on medium speed.
- Add the whole egg, then the vanilla.
- Whisk the all-purpose flour, almond flour, lemon zest, cinnamon and cloves in a bowl.
- With the mixer on medium speed, gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and mix in up to 1 tablespoon water until the dough just comes together.
- Wrap two-thirds of the dough in plastic wrap, then wrap the remaining one-third in plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate both for 30 minutes.
- Put the larger piece of dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into an 11-inch round.
- Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and invert the dough into the prepared tart pan; peel off the other sheet of parchment paper and trim the excess dough.
- Spread the jam evenly on the crust.
- Roll out the remaining dough to about 1/4 inch thick and cut it into 1/2- to 1-inch-wide strips (10 to 14 strips).
- Arrange the strips in a lattice pattern on top of the filling.
- Beat the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon water and brush on the lattice and edge of the crust.
- Bake until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly, about 30 minutes.
- Let cool completely.
