Refrigerate until firm, about 45 minutes. (Can be prepared 1 day
ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.)

Mound blueberries in center of tart. Arrange nectarine slices in ring
around berries. Place raspberries at outside edge. Stir apricot
preserves in small saucepan over low heat until melted. Mix in
remaining 1 tablespoon amaretto. Brush glaze over fruit topping.
Refrigerate up to 2 hours.
