Fenetra de Toulouse · Toulouse
The fenetra is a Toulouse-only almond and citron pastry of a meringue base topped with apricot jam, candied citron and ground almonds. Reservations recommended in season.
The fenetra dates to the medieval Toulouse fair of the same name held around Toussaint (All Saints). The pastry combines almonds (a southwestern crop), apricot jam (preserved summer fruit) and candied citron. The recipe nearly disappeared in the 20th century and was revived by Toulouse patisseries in the 1990s. La Bonbonniere and Maison Pillon are the modern reference makers.
