Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
1-1/2 cups unblanched almonds
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
2 large eggs, room temperature
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted
2 tablespoons butter, melted
SAUCE:
2 cups fresh raspberries, divided
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, thawed
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons port wine or water

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Process flour, oats and sugar in a food processor until oats are ground. Add butter; pulse until crumbly. Press onto bottom and 1 in. up sides of an ungreased 10-in. springform pan. Bake until lightly browned, 14-16 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
Process almonds in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Beat brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, chocolate and melted butter; stir in almonds.
Pour into prepared crust. Bake until center is set and crust is golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine 1 cup raspberries, cranberries, sugar and wine. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat to low; cook, uncovered, until cranberries pop, 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; cool slightly.
Press berry mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl; discard seeds. Refrigerate sauce until serving.
Remove rim from pan. Serve tart with sauce and remaining raspberries.
