Simple Jam Tarts
A teatime favourite, and super simple to make.

This two-ingredient jam tart recipe couldn't be simpler. Using supermarket shortcrust pastry cuts down on the time and will taste just a good. And using a pastry cutter to cut out the shapes is something younger family members can help out with - so it's a gentle holiday activity.
But, if you'd like to give pastry making a go, follow our expert guide on how to make shortcrust pastry from scratch.
Jam tarts of course make a lovely addition to an afternoon tea spread. For more inspiration check our our best afternoon tea recipes.
