ALMOND MERINGUE SHORTBREAD


This shortbread has an interesting mix of flavors. The base is a standard shortbread which is baked and then topped with jam ( I used marionberry jam) after cooling it for a bit. While it was cooling, you make a cinnamon meringue which is placed on top of the jam and then returned to the oven to brown. Oh, the meringue is also covered with chopped almonds. I almost forgot that step and had to pull it out of the oven to add the nuts. When it was all done, it looked very pretty and was tasty but almost too many flavors for me with the nuts, cinnamon and fruit jam. I will be interested to get some feedback on this one!
