Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 380 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) and prepare a muffin tray.
    2.
    To prepare the pastry, combine the ground almond, flaxseed meal, one tablespoon of erythritol, one teaspoon of cinnamon, chilled butter, and a pinch of salt in a food processor. Blend until a chunky crumb forms.
    3.
    Add one egg to the mixture and blend again until a dough forms.
    4.
    Take 3/4 of the dough and divide it into 6 even portions. Press each portion of dough into the base of a muffin cup, creating 6 pastry cases.
    5.
    Transfer the muffin tray to the preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes, or until the pastry is lightly golden.
    6.
    While the pastry is baking, prepare the filling. In a small pan, combine the chopped rhubarb, cranberries, water, remaining cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, orange zest, and remaining erythritol.
    7.
    Bring the mixture to a boil, then mash the fruit with a fork. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for ten minutes, or until a thick fruit jam forms.
    8.
    Evenly divide the fruit filling between the partially cooked pastry bases.
    9.
    With the remaining pastry, create shaped decorations of your choice using a pastry cutter or knife. Stars are a great festive option! Arrange these pastry tops on top of the fruit filling.
    10.
    Beat the remaining egg and brush the pastry edges and lids with the egg mixture for a golden finish.
    11.
    Transfer the muffin tray to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
