Gluten Free Jam Tarts
With both Mothers Day and the
Easter holidays coming up soon now is the perfect time to introduce you Ciao
Gusto, an authentic Italian Deli store available through
Ocado. One of the brands Ciao Gusto represents is Santa Rosa who produce the most
amazing jams/preserves, which I used for today’s recipe: an ideal make with the
children for Spring.. We made the most
gorgeous Jam Tarts this week with their preserves! They are naturally gluten
free and despite having much less sugar than many of their competitors the
taste in just perfect – you really can taste the sunshine in these.
Gluten Free Jam Tarts
Ingredients
250g
plain gluten free flour, plus extra for dusting
Pinch
of Salt
125g butter
chilled
and diced, plus extra for the tin
1
medium egg
1 tbsp cold
water
1
vanilla pod, seeds scraped (optional)
50g x3
of Santa Rosa Preserves (we used Cherry, Apricot & Peach)
Method
Put the
flour, butter & pinch of salt in a bowl and rub them together between your
fingers until the mixture resembles fresh breadcrumbs, stir in the egg and
vanilla seeds, if using, with a cutlery knife. Add 1 tbsp cold water, then
start to bring the dough together in one lump with your hands. You can add 1
more tbsp of water if it’s not coming together, but try not to add more than
that
Heat
oven to 200C/180C fan. Butter or lightly dust with flour a 12-hole tart tin,
then dust your work surface with flour. Using a straight or fluted round cutter
cut out 12 circles, big enough to line the holes in the tin. Dollop 1-2 tsp of
your chosen Santa Rosa preserve into each one.
Bake
for 15-18 mins or until golden and the filling is starting to bubble a little.
Leave to cool in the tin for a few mins then carefully transfer to a wire rack
to cool completely.
Santa Rosa preserves will be on special offer throughout April on the Ciao Gusto store through Ocado - buy 2 jars and get 20% off through April!
