Tarts with Preserves

Ingredients

• puff pastry
• any kind of preserve

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. Roll out the puff pastry and place it in the bottom of a tart dish.

3. Add the preserve, filling it to about 1 inch from the top of the dish.

4. Wet the edge of the pastry with water using a brush.

5. Cut thin strips of pastry and lay them across the top to cover the preserve.

6. Create a border of pastry around the dish.

7. Bake until golden brown.

8. Once done, sprinkle with fine sugar and glaze if desired.
