Peach Jam & Italian Amaretti Cookies Tart

A friend of mine gave me amazing Maltese peaches from her tree, with which I have made a jam using my recipe.

These Maltese peaches are small but really rich in pulp and scent. Another characteristic of them, it is the deep red color.

I wanted to use them in a nice recipe, a tart, but with something special. Hence, I added the topping made of crushed amaretti cookies.

The result is a delicious tart with 3 different textures which blend together beautifully: the crumbliness of the pastry, the moistness of the jam and the crunchiness of the cookies.

I am sure you will fall in love with this tart too 🙂
