Ingredients

1 cup finely chopped pecans
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 can (15 ounces) sliced peaches, well drained
1/2 cup fresh raspberries
1/4 cup apricot preserves
2 tablespoons honey

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the pecans, flour and butter; press onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. tart pan with removable bottom. Place pan on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.
In a chilled small bowl, beat cream until soft peaks form; set aside. In another small bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. Add extracts and orange peel; mix well. Beat in the whipped cream on low speed. Spoon into crust. Refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
Just before serving, arrange peaches and raspberries over filling. In a small saucepan or microwave, melt preserves and honey; mix well. Carefully spoon or brush over fruit. Cut into wedges to serve. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 6-8 servings.
