Best 10 Raspberry Almond Foldovers Recipes

RASPBERRY-ALMOND FOLDOVERS

Steps:

• In medium bowl, beat flour, butter, cream cheese and almond extract with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended and crumbly. Press dough into ball; flatten slightly, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate about 1 hour 30 minutes or until firm.
• Heat oven to 375°F (if using dark or nonstick cookie sheet, heat oven to 350°F). Divide dough in half (refrigerate half of dough until needed). On lightly floured surface, roll half of dough 1/4 inch thick. Cut into 2 1/2-inch rounds. On ungreased cookie sheet, place rounds 1/2 inch apart. Reroll any remaining dough.
• Place 1/4 teaspoon of the jam off center on each cookie to within 1/4 inch of edge. Fold cookies in half over jam; press edges firmly with fingers. Seal edges with tines of fork. Brush cookies with egg white. Sprinkle with almonds and sugar.
• Bake 11 to 15 minutes or until edges are golden brown and tops are lightly browned. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.

ALMOND AND RASPBERRY SLICE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9 1/2 by 8-inch baking pan lined with parchment paper with 1 tablespoon of butter.
• To make the almond topping, combine 5 tablespoons butter, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract with the almonds and milk in a medium-sized saucepan. Cook over a low heat until the butter has melted, and then leave the mixture out to cool.
• To make the slice, whip together the remaining 1 stick 3 tablespoons butter, 1/2 cup sugar and vanilla extract with an electric beater until pale and creamy. Sift the flour with cornstarch and add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in 2 batches, beating on low speed until just mixed. Pour the batter into the baking pan and bake for 12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove the pastry from the oven and leave it out to cool for 10 minutes.
• Carefully spread the raspberry jam over the pastry base, and then spread the cooled almond topping over the jam. Return the dessert to the oven and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until golden.

RASPBERRY CHOCOLATE ALMOND SPREAD

Steps:

• Fit a large pot with a rack, or line with a folded kitchen towel. Fill with water and bring to a boil. Add 4 half-pint canning jars and boil for 10 minutes. Jars may be left in the warm water in the pot until ready to be filled. (Alternatively, sterilize jars by running them through a dishwasher cycle, leaving them there until ready to fill.)
• Place canning rings in a small saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Turn off heat and add lids to soften their rubber gaskets. Rings and lids may be left in the water until jars are filled.
• In a large, heavy pan, combine raspberries and sugar. Bring to a simmer, stirring, until sugar has dissolved. Put raspberry-sugar mixture through the fine disk of a food mill or press through a fine sieve to remove seeds. Some seeds may remain; don't worry.
• Return mixture to pan, add lemon juice, and bring back to a boil. Boil, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Add chocolate and stir well until completely melted. Boil hard for five minutes, stirring all the while. Turn off the heat, wait a minute or two, then push against the mixture. If the surface of the jam wrinkles a bit, it is the correct consistency. If not, return to the heat for another minute or two and try the wrinkle test again. Add almond extract and almonds and stir to combine.
• Ladle hot preserves into the warm jars, leaving 1/4 inch at the top, just below the first ring on the jar's neck. Wipe jar rims clean with a damp towel. Place lids on jars, screw on rings and lower jars back into the pot of boiling water. Return to a full boil and boil the jars for 10 minutes. Transfer jars to a folded towel and allow to cool for 12 hours; you should hear them making a pinging sound as they seal.
• Test the seals by removing rings and lifting jars by the flat lid. If the lid releases, the seal has not formed. Unsealed jars should be refrigerated and used within a month, or reprocessed. (Rings and jars may be reused, but a new flat lid must be used each time jars are processed.) To reprocess, reheat filling to boiling point (as in Step 4), then continue as before.
