amaretto
Amaretto is a sweet Italian liqueur that originated in Saronno, Italy.
Amaretto (Italian for "a little bitter") is a sweet Italian liqueur that originated in Saronno, Italy. While originally flavoured from bitter almonds, various modern commercial brands are prepared from a base of apricot stones, peach stones, or almonds, all of which are natural sources of the benzaldehyde that provides the principal almond-like flavour of the liqueur.
My mom ate this at a potluck many, many years ago when I was in elementary school. She asked for the recipe so she could make it, and from the very first time I tried it, I was in love.
I ask for this every year for my birthday instead of regular cake - for close to 30 years now!

This makes an attractive looking starter and cooks in a few minutes if you prepare the elements ahead of time. The tangerine curd is somewhat optional in the sense that scallops with a beurre noisette will work as a stand alone dish. But I wanted to offset the sweetness of the scallops and nutty...
