I first made this a year ago and it's a family favourite - even the girls at work love it... We use mixed berries and only honey and it's fabulous... Eat with whipped cream or ice cream (or both)..... DELISH!!!

This tart is odd but tasty. I made it as mostly as directed, I used half honey and half agave and cut back just a smidge because I was concerned it would be too sweet, and it was just right. The texture is what is odd. The edge is kind of cakey but the center is much moister more like a damp frangipane. I used mostly fresh picked blackberries with some blueberries to added in - I did use more than a cup of berries to cover the whole thing. I baked it about 5 minutes longer than stated and still wasn't sure if the center was done but the edges and bottom were nice and brown. We really liked the combination of the almond and fruit, but decided we preferred it warm on the day it was baked better than room temp the next day. Made for ZWT 9 N Africa by one of Mike and the Appliance Killers.
