Sour Cherry Linzer Tart

I am so sad that I've lived this long without having ever made or tasted a linzer tart. The crust of this tart is so different from a traditional pie crust (and a lot more work!). The crust is a mix of butter, flour, hazelnuts, almonds, citrus zest, cinnamon, cloves, and sugar, forming a cookie-like spicy crust. There was also a really cool technique for creating the lattice top--rather than rolling and cutting strips the topping was piped on (great trick!). The filling was really good too--sour cherries plumped up in cherry pomegranate juice. A little bit of cornstarch thickened the sauce and made a delicious glaze for the sour cherries. The finished tart was awesome--it was tart, sweet, spicy, and reminded me of Christmas on a plate. It might seem a little out of place for summer, but I can't wait to make this again for the holidays.
