Notes

  • Make sure your almonds are fresh! If they've gone soft, re-crisp them in a 325 degree oven for 5-10 minutes, but be careful not to let them brown. You don't want toasted almonds. 
  • Don't bother cleaning out the food processor after making the crust even if there are still remnants of dough. The filling has the same ingredients so it won't have any affect. 
  • For a more tart cranberry pie, simply use more cranberries. For a sweeter, less sour pie, use less cranberries.
  • Garnish the cranberry tart with a few sugared cranberries on top for an extra festive look!
