Weekend Baking: Strawberry & Almond Tarts

Hi everyone, hope that you've had a great week! Today I wanted to share my strawberry and almond tart recipe, I had some leftover pastry in the freezer from the apple tarts a few weeks ago and as strawberries are one of my favourite fruits, I had to make these! My tarts have a frangipane mixture in the middle but cooled custard or vanilla cream would work just as well. Hope that you enjoy...
