Product Information

There are three layers to this Almond Slice, starting with a sweet shortcrust pastry layer, followed by a layer of jam, then a layer of sponged topped with some flaked almonds. Almonds are characterised by their large, light-coloured kernels with thin skin, flatter shape and mild flavour.

If we look at the various possible packaging in which food may be packaged, PET has the second smallest ecological footprint (just after glass with a deposit, but well ahead of glass without a deposit or for aluminum packaging). I knew the kids would like Almond Slice, given their love for Mr Kipling Bakewell Slices but I hadn’t anticipated making two batches within a few days. Take out an allow to cool, before removing from the tin to slice it, or slice in the tin and remove individual pieces if you find the easier.

Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness. Make sure to package them properly in freezer-safe bags or containers to prevent them from absorbing odors from the freezer. Carefully lift the pastry and press into the bottom of the tin, cutting any excess so it’s only covering the bottom and not stretching up the slides.

We do not offer a discount on bulk purchases, and we reserve the right to prohibit dealers or resellers. Almond slivers are frequently used to garnish sweet recipes such as cookies, French patisserie and tea loaves. We recommend that you read labels, warnings and directions of all products before use and not rely solely on the information provided by iHerb. The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.Blind baking your pastry is a must and I highly recommend it to avoid a soggy bottom, which is otherwise guaranteed due to the jam layer on top of the pastry. We’ve not tried it ourselves but as all of the elements could be frozen separately we imagine it would be fine! I needed to bake the pastry base an extra 5 minutes and the whole tart an extra ten minutes but the result was perfect.

As mentioned above, they make a great topping or garnish for any number of dishes, savoury and sweet.

When cooking with sliced almonds, people often struggle with knowing when to add them to a dish, how to toast them and if they can be substituted with other nuts. However, we would suggest 3-4 days would be best in an airtight container so they retain their freshness.

They would probably last a little longer but start to become a bit dry in the cake part and the pastry soggy!For those with allergies to almonds, other sliced or chopped nuts such as walnuts, pecans or hazelnuts can be used as replacements. If you use File/Print in your internet browser, it will print all the other stuff that’s on the webpage. Alternatively, you can use a ready-roll shortcrust pastry, if you are tight on time or simply want to make things easier. We recommend that you do not rely solely on the information presented here and that you always read labels, warnings, and directions before using or consuming a product. We tried to dig into the history of the almond slice a little more to see where it actually originated, but most recipes refer back to a Bakewell tart.
