    Beat almond paste, butter, egg white, powdered sugar and Kirsch till fluffy. Pinch off 3/4 inch balls of pastry dough. Press each into ungreased 1- 3/4 inch muffin pans. Fill each pastry shell about 2/3 full with almond mixture. Bake at 350 degrees till pastry is browned and filling is set, 25 to 30 minutes.

    Heat preserves in small pan til bubbly. Spoon a little of the melted preserves over each tartlet to glaze. Cool before removing from pans and serving.

    Tips: Other jams or jellies can be substituted for raspberry to vary flavor.
