There was another brand in the freezer -just as expensive but in tiny containers - smaller then those 14 oz “pints” - they only had vanilla and some kind of chocolate - I didn’t catch the name, just the price
but I want to get some the next time I’m in there just out of curiosity. For science, of course. Always for science.
Crostata de marmellata of raspberry jam with eau de vie Framboise, fresh raspberries and pistachios..
Was this from a specific recipe? Sure looks good.
No, it was a “put together”
. I made a very small amount of pastry (50g flour) and then squeezed out enough pastry to make the bottom plus 5-6 strips for the top. I had a jar of homemade jam that was about 5-6 oz. and used it all, plus some fresh raspberries and Moondust. It’s a 6 “ tart.
I must have wanted a challenge this morning

They get it delivered from NYC. Nice, not too sweet.
Yum!
