More information on this recipe for jam and lemon tarts can be found at www.cookeryskills.com This tarts recipe uses shortcrust pastry – see www.youtube.com for information on how to make it. The ingredients for making 12-14 jam and lemon tarts are as follows: 375g sweet shortcrust pastry 300g jam or lemon curd A touch of butter, for greasing A touch of plain flour, for dusting Adding most of the jam after the pastry has been baked gives a much more professional finish to the tarts — a nice crisp pastry case and very full of jam/lemon curd with a lovely smooth surface. This method also stops the jam from boiling over in the pastry and spilling all over the place, which in turn makes the washing up a little easier! Please take good care when using hot jam or lemon curd as they may reach a very high temperatures. Take even more care if children are helping with the baking.
