For the apricot or strawberry glaze: heat the jam in a small saucepan over a medium heat until liquid (melted), you can add a touch of water if the consistency is too thick, remove from heat and strain the jam through a fine strainer to remove any fruit lumps, let cool until it is only slightly warm, then using a pastry brush glaze the tart. Sprinkle with the toasted almonds, and serve with ice cream or double cream and enjoy.
