Jam tarts. A real local Newfoundland favourite, especially using local berry jams. You can use any jam you like in these gorgeous little mini tarts.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Often, I post recipes at reader request, even though the constituent parts of a recipe have been previously posted.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, for the sake of search-ability and convenience, I am adding this as a stand alone recipe so that it is easier to find.<\/span><\/p>\n

This post was actually promoted, like the just published Bakeapple Jam recipe, on social media feedback.<\/span><\/p>\n

When I posted the photo below on our Facebook Page<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, as a demonstration of one way to use Shortcrust pastry, it got an immediate reaction. Folks started messaging me for the complete tarts recipe.<\/span><\/p>\n

So I thought, why not put it all in one place. Here, I\u2019ve brought together the pastry recipe with baking tart shells instruction, plus links to local berry jam recipes.<\/span><\/p>\n

A little cream tops them off.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditionally, these tarts have often been topped by a little dollop of thick cream. The canned cream of choice for decades in Newfoundland has been Fussell\u2019s. It is practically iconic here.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, a few years back, I discovered an incredible substitute for it, in a method for making Homemade Clotted Cream<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. That thick cream is even better than the canned stuff in my humble opinion.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am using the shortcrust pastry in this recipe, which is quite similar to a lot of tart pastries I have sampled in different parts of rural Newfoundland.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some old pastry recipes are similar but sometimes call for milk and no egg yolks to bind the pastry dough together. <\/span><\/p>\n

I find this makes the pastry a little more cake-y and soft, which is not ideal for mini tarts. I think this one is much more suited to purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n
