The crust was very good, but the filling was just ok. It wasn't a huge hit with the kids, but I'm sure adults would appreciate it more.

Almond cranberry tart is delicious and so easy to make, we make it any time we have all the ingredients. It's so good hot or cold that we don't argue as to how it's served, we simply serve it and eat it as is. It's a keeper for sure and going in my recipe box.
