Servings: persons

1 can (8 ounces) almond paste
3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 cup cake flour
1/4 cup seedless raspberry spreadable fruit
4-1/2 cups sugar
2-1/4 cups water
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1-1/2 teaspoons clear vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
6 cups confectioners' sugar
Assorted food coloring

1
Line a 15x10x1-in. baking pan with parchment paper; coat the paper with cooking spray and set aside.
2
In a large bowl, cream the almond paste, butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in flour. Spread evenly into prepared pan.
3
Bake at 325u00b0 for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
4
Cut cake in half widthwise. Spread jam over one half; top with remaining half. Cut into assorted 1-1/2-in. shapes.
5
In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, water and cream of tartar. Cook over medium-high heat, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 226u00b0. Remove from the heat; cool at room temperature to 100u00b0. Stir in extracts. Using a portable mixer, beat in confectioners' sugar until smooth. Tint glaze with food coloring.
6
Gently dip petits fours, one at a time, into warm glaze. Remove with a fork; allow excess glaze to drip off. (If glaze becomes too thick, stir in 1 teaspoon hot water at a time to thin.) Place petits fours on wire racks over waxed paper; let dry completely.
