Re: From the 3-23-10 newsletter
I stopped at a local farmers market recently. They had a gentleman selling bakery goods. He gave me a sample of Linzer Torte and I bought some. Does anyone have a TNT recipe for it? It was really good.

Linzer Torte

1 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 pound grated unbleached almonds
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cloves (I don't like cloves so I don't use)
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
Apricot preserves

Cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, grated almonds (I use food processor but be careful you do not make almond butter) and lemon. Then add flour and spices. Spread in pan and spread with apricot preserves (can use any kind) and decorate with lattice design. Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.
