Preparation

1 Our easy variation of a classic French fruit tart uses an almond-flavored pastry cream filling topped with strawberries, blueberries and grapes. 2 Look for almond paste in the baking section of large supermarkets. 3 FOOD PROCESSOR DIRECTIONS: Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Prepare pie crust according to package directions for ONE-CRUST BAKED SHELL using 9 or 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom. (Refrigerate remaining crust for a later use.) Place crust in pan; press in bottom and up sides of pan. Trim edges ifnecessary. Prick crust with fork. Bake at 450 degrees F. for 9 to 11 minutes or until lightly browned; cool completely. 4 In food processor bowl with metal blade or blender container, combine all filling ingredients; process until smooth. Spread evenly in cooled baked shell.* Top with fruit; brush with jelly. Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours before serving. Store in refrigerator. 5 TIP:* At this point, tart can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated overnight. Top with fruit and jelly up to 6 hours before serving. 6 Amount
