Family traditions - almond tarts

Almond tarts.......just the mere mention makes my mouth water.  Our family has always had almond tarts at Christmas.......one of my brothers favorites as well as mine.  These delectible little mouthfulls of goodness capture the essence of a true holiday treat......decadent, certainly a guilty pleasure!  Crunchy on top, gooey inside....the little surprise of the jam.......ahhhhhhhhhhh!

You can use store bought pie shells, the little 2" or 3" shells.......or you can make your own, but it really is not necessary.  I happen to love raspberry jam as the filling, but any jam will do........
