    I didn't expect these to be worth the fiddling required, but they were really very nice.

    I had the same idea last year, but then with prunes halves, cut size up, and no butter or almonds. It is really easy and makes a really quick and nice dessert!

    I did these with pears instead of strwberries and they were lovely. Not much to them and they tasted great, I think that the pear works better with the almond flavour. Great.

    Really tasty and easy to do, make sure your marzipan slices are thin though to avoid the tarts being too sweet.

    I have made this two times now and the first time I did use the marzipan the first time and cut it thin turned out nice but far to sweet, I found it nicer the second time when I didn't use the marzipan also I folded the edges. Good all in all though.
