Raspberry and chocolate macaron pastry

Although it's a great dessert for Xmas, this recipe works all year round. Depending on the way you decorate and finish this macaron, it will fit any occasion or season. What's the secret? It must be that timeless combination of dark chocolate ganache and the crisp acidity of the raspberry marmalade. Add that to a macaron that's crisp and brittle on the inside and tender on the outside, and there's your instant classic.
