Almonds: Beta-Sitosterol Benefits BPH

Preparation

In a small saucepan, add the frozen cherries and heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, in a medium sized bowl, combine the almond flour and salt. Cut in all but 1 Tbsp. of the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add enough water until dough forms a ball. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out chilled dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut out eight 5-in. circles. Place each over an inverted custard cup on an ungreased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan; flute edges.
Bake for 10-11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before removing tart shells from custard cups; cool completely on wire racks.
Cherries should be warm throughout and liquid slightly bubbling. Drain cherries, reserving 1 cup juice.
Return the saucepan to the burner, and combine the erythritol, stevia and cornstarch. Stir reserved juice into the erythritol mixture until smooth.
Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in the cherries, 1 Tbsp. reserved butter and almond extract.
Cool to room temperature. Spoon about 1/4 cup filling into each tart shell.
Serve.
