Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups ground hazelnuts
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Dash ground cloves

  • 1 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 2 pic eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 1-1/3 cups seedless raspberry jam
  • Confectioners' sugar, optional

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add eggs and lemon zest; stir until mixture forms a ball. Divide into fourths. Cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours or until chilled.
  • Remove two portions of dough from refrigerator; press each into an ungreased 9-in. fluted tart pan with removable bottom. Spread 2/3 cup jam over each.
  • Between two sheets of lightly floured waxed paper, roll one portion of remaining dough into a 10x6-in. rectangle. Cut six 1-in.-wide strips; arrange in a lattice design over jam. Repeat with remaining dough (return dough to the refrigerator if needed).
  • Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until bubbly and crust is browned. Cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar if desired.
