Apricot Tart - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 tbsp ground almonds
2 tbsp sugar
1 can (30 oz) apricot halves, drained
1/4 cup apricot jam

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 450\u00b0F. Line a large baking pan with parchment paper.
Halve pastry and roll out each piece to a 14 x 5-inch rectangle. Place on prepared pan. Lightly score a 1/4-inch border along long edges. Use a fork to prick pastry inside borders and along short edges.
Sprinkle ground almonds and 1/2 of sugar over pastry, leaving border free. Top with apricots, cut side down. Sprinkle with remaining sugar.
Combine apricot jam with 1 tbsp water in a small saucepan on low heat. Stir until smooth. Brush apricots with 1/2 of jam.
Bake for 30 mins, until pastry is puffed and golden and apricots are beginning to brown. Glaze apricots and pastry edges with remaining apricot jam. Place under a preheated broiler for 1-2 mins, until caramelized. Serve warm.
