Jam Tart Recipe
These delicious jam tarts are just like serving small pies or pastries & make a flavorful treat to your next gathering, or to serve to your family after dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup butter Kerrygold is excellent for baking!
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 teaspoons sugar
- ½ cup cold water
- jam Strawberry, cherry, raspberry, peach preserves. Choose your favorite!
- powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Mix flour, sugar, and salt together in a food processor and pulse a couple of times to combine. Cut up the butter into large chucks and add the butter to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs. Add the cold water and blend until a dough ball is formed.
- Wrap the pastry dough ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate the pastry dough until well chilled, at least 30-40 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400° F. Grease 24 muffin cups (use 2 muffin pans that hold 12 each or work in batches).
- Dust countertop lightly with flour. Roll the pastry out thin and cut into rounds with a biscuit cutter. You can also use a cookie cutter or mason jar ring if needed. You should have 24 pastry rounds when finished cutting them out.
- Place each cut out round dough piece inside of a muffin cup. Fill the tarts with approximately 2 teaspoons of desired jam to each of the cups.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Allow the tarts to cool on a wire rack. Once cooled use a sieve or sifter and sprinkle with a light layer of powdered sugar.
- Serve & enjoy!
Notes
Kerrygold is exceptionally good in this recipe and gives the best flavor! It is my most favorite butter to bake with and I definitely recommend!
This recipe is flexible and you can use your favorite jam! Some of our favorites are strawberry jam, cherry preserves, raspberry, and peach preserves. We’ve even tested this recipe with apple butter (a kid favorite over here!)
