Gluten Free Strawberry Almond Tarts Recipe

Strawberries are abundant, beautiful and seriously inexpensive right now (and naturally gluten free). I was walking by a display of fresh strawberries the other day and they called out “take me home, take me home.” Well, when strawberries start talking to me, I had better listen. I’d be crazy not to. Right?

I do have a little of a confession, I am not a big lover of the berry, at least not raw. But baked in a tart, well… now we are talking (or maybe it is still the strawberries talking, I’m not sure).

These simple Gluten Free Strawberry Almond Tarts are made with one of my favorite gluten-free pantry staples, Pure Almond Paste from Solo Foods. Love the stuff; it makes whatever you are baking taste incredibly almondy, rich and luxurious. Filling an almond crust and topped with strawberries that bake down getting all warm and soft and uber-sweet – oh…man, I have no words!

Any foods been talking to you lately?

  Crumble the almond paste into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse several times to break it up well. Add the powdered sugar and eggs. Process until smooth. Spoon the almond filling into the tart shells. Place the strawberry halves on top of the almond paste filling. Sprinkle with the slivered almonds.

Brush the tops of the tarts with the melted jelly and let the tarts cool.
