It's the start of spring break for most schools around the country, and that can only mean that Easter is hopping along as quick as can be. My nephews are coming for a visit this week and will be staying through next Saturday, and that makes me so happy because they'll get to be here for an early Easter brunch we'll be hosting for the family that day. Since starting my business, I've really slacked on my hosting duties, so I'm particularly excited about not only finally having a work-free weekend, but getting to spend it with loved ones. I'm making up for lost time, so I may be going a little over the top on the menu, but that's ok. We'll be serving traditional brunch foods, but I'm also going to throw in a spectacular French Lemon Almond Tart for good measure. This recipe I snagged off of Golden Blossom Honey is so elegant, delicious, and perfect for spring with its happy color. 

 

 

This isn't a super quick tart, but the little effort that you do have to put into its creation offers a hefty payoff on the finished result. It has a beautiful combination of sweet and tangy, and it's just overall a very pretty tart to have on the table. You can leave it as is and it will still wow a crowd, but I chose to dress mine up with fresh berries and a dusting of confectioner's sugar for a little extra fancy touch. The recipe did call for sliced almonds to go on top, but I completely forgot to add those to mine before baking. But it still had a hint of almond thanks to the extract in the mixture and in the crust. You don't have to be hosting any gatherings by any means to have an excuse to make this tart. Do you and make one for yourself to enjoy with an afternoon cup of tea or a late night sweets craving. Or just for the heck of it. I'm of the firm belief that these kinds of delicacies should be savored whenever, wherever. 

Crust:
1 cup flour
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon almond extract
