She Made Some Tarts

March 19, 2024

Hello & Hello again! Every so often on this blog, we take a break & share a recipe instead of talking about art. Here is where you can find every #recipe. Would you like to share a recipe in a future blog post? Let me know!

These jam tarts are fantastic & easy to make! Use whatever flavor of jam you like- just make sure it is seedless. The original recipe was for an 8 inch tart but I prefer to bake them in a 12-cup muffin tin.

This Week We’re Making Jam Tarts!

Ingredients

Crust: * ½ c butter, melted * 1 c 2 tbl AP flour * ½ c sugar * 1 tsp vanilla extract * ½ tsp almond extract * ½ tsp salt

Instructions

Mix all to a crumbly dough & press lightly into muffin tin
Bake ~12 minutes at 350°F – until the crust is just barely starting to brown
While the crust bakes, mix everything in the Topping list except for the jam

Ingredients

Topping: * 1 c Greek yogurt or ricotta cheese * 1 egg, lightly beaten * 2 tbl sugar * ½ tsp vanilla * 1 tsp of whatever spices pair well with your jam (I used cardamom)

12 tbl seedless jam (I used blueberry)

Instructions

Take the muffin tin out of the oven, but LEAVE THE OVEN ON with the door closed.
Divide topping mix evenly between muffin cups- it's about 1 tablespoon each
Top each with 1 tablespoon jam
Put it back in the oven ~45 minutes (still at 350°F) – until the jam starts to caramelize.
Let the tart(s) cool for a bit in the tin, then remove from tin(s) & let them cool entirely on a wire rack.
Do not eat them before they are fully cooled as they will burn the heck out of your mouth (ask me how I know!)
