  • FOR THE FILLING: Apricots, peaches, plums, kiwifruit, or gooseberries need to be poached lightly in a sugary syrup.
  • Raspberries, strawberries, blueberries and redcurrants can be used fresh.
  • GLACE for the fruit: Heat apricot jam, for red fruits use redcurrant jelly with a few drops of lemon juice, when dissolved put through a sieve.
  • Sift the flour and salt onto a board.
  • Make a well in the centre and add all the ingredients.
  • With your fingertips, mix together quickly and knead until smooth.
  • Wrap with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
  • Roll the pastry out and place in greased tartlet tins.
  • Chill again.
  • Bake blind for 7 minutes.
  • Then bake a further 5 minutes until a pale biscuit colour.
  • Cool on wire rack.
  • Glace the base of the pastry with some of the glace, then place the fruit into the tartlets and glace all over.
  • TIP: The tartlets WITHOUT the filling can be baked in advance and stored in an air-tight container for a few days!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in New Zealand, I'm married and my husband and I have no children....but we do have a dog (Bruno the Poodle), and a cat (Gus the Birman)! Back in November 2000, I resigned from a 17yr career with Air New Zealand as a Purser. I am now working as a Private Investigator with my husband - having his own Investigation Company. The work is varied and at times very rewarding as I'm sure you can imagine! I have an absolute passion for shoes...what woman doesn't??!!!, and fashion generally, including that of Home Interiors and furnishings, and gardens. I enjoy, among many past-times, art, gardening, water ski-ing, power walking, and ofcourse...COOKING!!(and entertaining). I guess my pet peeve would be running late for an appointment somewhere! 10 minutes early = 10 minutes late with me!! So, ON time is VERY late!!! If I had a month off - no work, and no responsibilities I would buy 2 return airfares to Honolulu!! And spend 2 weeks on Waikiki Beach with my husband and 2 weeks at home in the kitchen!! And entertaining friends and family.
