Bread Fruit Tarts

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

  1. Line a dish with thin slices of bread.

  2. Layer fruit and brown sugar in alternate layers with slices of bread.

  3. Once the dish is filled, pour over ½ cup of water.

  4. Top with thin pieces of bread and sprinkle generously with brown sugar.

  5. Bake at 350°F (175°C) until thoroughly done.

Recipe from a historical cookbook (Internet Archive).

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
