  • 100 g of sugar
  • 150 g of butter
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 spoon of Lunigiana Acacia Honey PDO

Proceeding

On a pasteboard, quickly knead the flour with the butter and then add all the other ingredients. When a compact pastry has been made, wrap it in cling-film and let it rest in the fridge for at least half an hour.
In a bowl mix the fruit preserve with the chestnuts, previously cooked in boiling water and crushed, add the honey and mix until smooth.

Line a baking tin with the shortcrust pastry, spread out the filling and cover the whole tart with the remaining pastry. Bake for 40 minutes at 180°C.
