1/2 c finely ground almonds
1/3 c sugar
1 t grated lemon rind
1/4 t salt
6 T cold butter, cut into pieces
1 egg
1 t vanilla
3/4 c seedless raspberry or strawberry jam
1 t lemon juice
2 pints strawberries, hulled & sliced
sweetened whipped cream (optional)
Stir together flour, almonds, sugar, lemon rind and salt in a large bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender or 2 knives, until coarse crumbs form. Whisk together and eggs and vanilla in a small bowl; stir into flour mixture until a dough forms. Shape into a disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a baking sheet; pat into a 10-inch circle, forming a high edge. Pierce bottom of dough all over with a fork. Bake until slightly browned, about 25 mins. Place baking sheet on a wire rack and cool for 10 mins. Transfer shell to rack to cool completely. Melt jam with lemon juice in a small saucepan over low heat until spreadable. Spread 1/2 c jam mixture over bottom of shell. Arrange berries on top, cut sides down. Brush with remaining jam mixture. Serve with whipped cream on the side.
