Last night whilst watching the Great British Bake Off I really wanted to be eating pastry. So whilst the bakers were putting together their fancy tarts I whipped up a slap dash rainbow of jam tarts using up bits of my homemade jam. These are Gooseberry, Blackberry, Raspberry and Plum jam tarts.
To make 24 jam tarts.
  1. Heat the oven to 180C.
  2. With your finger tips rub together 225g plain flour, 150g salted butter and 25g sugar.
  3. When you have breadcrumbs add a few tablespoons of water to bring together the pastry. Add the water a little at a time.
  4. Butter two fairy cake tins.
  5. Roll out the pastry on a floured surface and cut discs, place into the fairy cake pan.
  6. Add a tablespoon or heaped teaspoon of jam to each pastry disc - not too much or the jam will overflow.
  7. Heat for 5-10 mins until the pastry is golden brown.
  8. Enjoy!

Gorgeous colours and they all sound delicious too. I just wish I could get on with pastry better - love eating it, hate making it.

We did this today too, although we tried pineapple jam rather than gooseberry or plum and it worked rather well :)
