The tart with bitter orange jam was a big hit at home! The reason is simple: there are pistachios, which we love!! Moreover, the contrast between the almond paste and the bitter orange jam makes it very pleasant.. indeed, it’s hard to resist!
The combination of colors is not bad at all, it cheers you up!! The orange of the jam with the bright green of the pistachios.. you eat with your eyes too!
Even the lazy or less experienced can prepare it, as all the ingredients are easily available at the supermarket.
Of course, homemade shortcrust pastry is something else entirely, but it’s not a crime not to know how to make it or not to want to prepare it!!
My suggestion is to try the tart with bitter orange jam as soon as possible, but first, take a look at the other interesting recipes, especially if you want to prepare the shortcrust pastry at home!
