2. Prepare Cranberries:

   • In a saucepan, bring orange juice and sugar to a gentle boil.
   • Add the cranberries, then remove the mixture from heat and let it cool. This step allows the cranberries to absorb the sweetness and develop a delightful tartness.

3. Prepare Filling:

   • In a mixing bowl, beat the almond paste and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
   • Add the flour, unsalted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the almond paste mixture. Beat until well blended, creating a rich and luscious filling.

4. Assemble the Tart:

   • Take your prepared tart dough and spread the almond filling evenly across the bottom.
   • Drain the cranberries from the orange juice mixture and place them on top of the almond filling, distributing them evenly.
   • Sprinkle the top of the tart with almonds, covering it generously for a crunchy finish.

5. Bake to Perfection:

   • Place the assembled tart in the preheated oven.
   • Bake until the filling is puffed, the crust is golden brown, and the almonds are toasted to perfection. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
   • Once baked, remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Slice the Cranberry Almond Tart into wedges and serve it warm or at room temperature.
   • Pair each delightful bite with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of decadence.

Tips:

• Make Ahead: You can prepare the tart dough, cranberries, and almond filling a couple of days in advance. Store them separately in the refrigerator. Ensure the filling is brought to room temperature or beaten in a mixer to facilitate spreading before assembling the tart.
• Customization: Feel free to customize this tart by adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor.
• Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Simply reheat slices in the microwave or enjoy them cold.

With its vibrant colors and irresistible flavors, this Cranberry Almond Tart is a true showstopper dessert that’s perfect for any occasion. Treat yourself to a slice and savor the magic of homemade goodness!
