Easy Jam Tarts Recipe

250g/9oz ready-made sweet shortcrust pastry

jam of your choice

1. Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F.

2. Grease a 12-16 hole tart mould with butter.

3. Roll out the shortcrust pastry onto a lightly floured work surface to a ¼in thickness. Using a cookie cutter, or an upturned cup, cut the rounds from the pastry so that are slightly bigger than the holes in the prepared tart tray, then press one round into each of the holes.

4. Spoon equal amounts of your preferred choice of jam into the centre of each pastry case. Then transfer the tarts to the oven and bake on the middle shelf for around 10-12 minutes, or until the pastry cases are a lovely golden-brown colour.

5. Remove the tarts from the oven and set aside on a wire rack to cool.
