Ingredients

Method

1.Beat butter and sugar in a small bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in egg and orange blossom water until combined. Stir in ground almonds and flour.
2.Preheat oven to 220°C/425°F.
3.Roll out each block of pastry on a floured sheet of baking paper into a 16cm x 34cm (6½-inch x 13½-inch) rectangle. Lift each pastry rectangle onto an oven tray. Spread almond mixture thinly over pastry, leaving a 1cm (½-inch) border.
4.Cut peaches and nectarine in half; remove stones. Cut halves into thin wedges. Arrange fruit wedges, overlapping slightly, on almond mixture.
5.Bake tart for 30 minutes or until browned and pastry is cooked underneath. Serve tarts topped with raspberries and pistachios; drizzle with honey.
