- In a small bowl, mash 1/2 cup of fresh raspberries with a fork until smooth. Swirl in 2 tablespoons of raspberry jam into the mashed raspberries.
- Drop spoonfuls of the raspberry mixture onto the frangipane filling and use a toothpick to create a swirl pattern.
- Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
