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!)
