Steps

  • Chill a small plate and mash 250g of raspberries with sugar and lemon juice in a pan.
  • Boil the jam for 5 minutes until sticky, then cool in a water bath.
  • Mix butter, icing sugar, almonds, salt, egg, vanilla, and flour into a dough and chill.
  • Simmer the pear in water with sugar, lemon, and star anise for 10 minutes until tender.
  • Boil the poaching liquid for 30 minutes to create a thick syrup.
  • Line a 23cm tin with rolled pastry, spread jam on the base, and chill.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Blend butter and caster sugar for the frangipane.
  • Mix eggs, Calvados, salt, and almond essence into the butter before folding in almonds and flour.
  • Spread frangipane over the jam and smooth the surface.
  • Arrange pear slices and reserved raspberries on top in a flower pattern.
  • Bake for 45 minutes, covering with foil if browning too quickly.
  • Brush with syrup, cool on a wire rack, and serve.
