ingredients

150 g custard
25 g ground almonds
¹⁄₂ teaspoon vanilla extract
flour
340 g puff pastry
6 nectarines
2 tablespoons icing sugar
handful almonds
3 tablespoons peach jam
double cream

directions

Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220C, fan 200°C Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Mix the custard, vanilla and ground almonds together.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the pastry to a rectangle, about 23x30cm (9x12in), then lay it on the lined baking sheet. Spread the custard mix over the pastry, leaving just under 2.5cm (1in) space around the edges. Scatter the nectarine slices over the custard, then roll up the bare pastry edges to make a slight rim.
Sprinkle over the icing sugar, then the flaked almonds. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the nectarines are tender and the pastry is crisp.
Sieve the conserve then brush it carefully over the fruit and pastry edges. Serve hot with cream or creme fraiche.
