According to the “Food Lover’s Companion” the definition of Jalousie is “a small cake made with flaky pastry, filled with almond paste topped with jam. A lattice pastry topping allows the colorful jam filling to peek through.
There are dozens of versions of this tart using many different kinds of fruit for the filling. Basically you take a sheet of puff pastry, roll it into a rectangle, and fill it with almond paste and sweetened fruit. Make slits on a second sheet of puff pastry and cover the fruit. Crimp the edges, brush on an egg wash and bake. Use whatever fruit is in season.
Here is a picture of a Nectarine Jalousie Tart from Jamie’s blog “Life’s A Feast.” Jamie actually makes her own puff pastry from scratch!
