Sweet Cherry Frangipane Tarts

Cherry season is just starting. Sweet cherries   are  in abundance. As good as they are eating them out of hand wanted to make some   tarts. Cherries and almonds are a great combo.
In winter I make a frangipane crepe that  everyone loves, the frangipane filling is   sinful.  Using part of that recipe  and these fresh cherries .....these are the   tarts I made  .
Similar in texture to a bakewell or maid of honor tart.
