  This is an ace recipe! It's so easy but always impressive. I've made it with and without the Amaretto and both were lovely. I've never found a pre-made pastry case the right size so have always bought ready-rolled and given it a bit of a blind-bake before the filling goes in. This is a great show-off dish that'll win you lots of brownie points.

  Hope to make this Saturday but using either peaches or nectarines and I don't have amaretto anyway. I think I will sprinkle the fruit with sugar before it goes into oven, then glaze it with jam once its cooked.
