I'm not going to spam my timeline (and yours!) with photos from yesterday but I did just want to share this one. See the purple-red minerals in the white plagioclase [feldspar mineral] in this polished slab of stone? They are almandine, the variety of garnet I got my username from.

Today's bake is for giving away*: a sweet almond tart.
I had pie crusts in the freezer and I made the filling earlier this morning.

Filling ingredients:

- 250gr butter
- 250 gr almond flour
- 250 gr caster sugar
- 50gr regular flour
- 3 eggs
- 2 tbs fancy liquor
- almond flakes for the topping
- clear jam + few drops of water warmed through, for the glaze

*My last sweet tooth got pulled decades ago, so this is not my kind of thing.
