A recipe in Donatella Pavoncello’s Dal 1880 ad oggi: La cucina ebraica della mia famiglia inspired this version of a traditional Italian cheese tart with a surprise layer of cherry jam. Lemon zest is in the crust, but you might want a little in the filling as well. I’ve added the almond extract, which accents the cherries nicely. It’s wise to brush the crust with egg wash
