Super Quick Jam Tart in Se7en Steps…

What can I say you need a really really quick snack that a se7en year old can easily make on their own and it looks so impressive! This is what we are aiming for:

Let’s Meet the Players:

Now you can make your own jam and you can make your own puff pastry from all natural ingredients for a professional event or you can have some staples that I absolutely always keep in our cupboard so we can whip this up in two ticks.

A Jar of Jam
A Roll of puff pastry

Let’s Play the Game:

Step 1: Gently roll out the pastry on a floury surface.

Step 2: Place a plate on your pastry and cut out a circle. Place your circle onto a greased baking tray.

Step 3: We added a dash of lemon juice into our jam – call it creative license or finesse! Then pop the jam onto the pastry and spread it around. Not quite to the edges.

Step 4: Pinch the edges over to make a pie rim.

Step 5: With the remaining pastry cut some thin strips and make a criss-cross pattern on top of the pie.

Step 6: Now at this stage their is a whole lot of pastry left over and a whole lot of eager siblings… and Valentines Day is looming so let’s quickly make some puff pastry jam hearts:

Every body stamps out two hearts a big one and a little one: stamp. stamp, stamp…
