Fresh Cherry Tart w/Almond Shortbread Crust & Dark Chocolate Almond Crumbles

This rich, 11 inch tart is made with two pounds of fresh, hand pitted cherries-none of that canned cherry filling here!  The cherries sit on a shortbread crust featuring crushed, toasted almonds and sweet butter.  The chocolate crumbles also consist of crushed, toasted almonds and sweet butter.  With over two pounds of cherries and nearly ½ pound of sweet butter, this is a truly special dessert!
