Fruit Tarts, Preserved

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Line a dish with puff pastry.

  3. Fill the pastry with any kind of preserved fruit.

  4. Cut bars from additional pastry using a tin cutter and lay them across the top.

  5. Neatly finish by adding a border of pastry around the edge.

  6. Ornament the tart tastefully.

  7. Bake until golden brown.
