it may not be pretty, but it sure was tasty
I had a knitting group (read: cool women I know who like good food, good conversation, and may also like to knit) coming over today, and wanted to bake. Like, not a huge tray of macaron bake, but something tasty. And since December always feels like the longest pay period of the year, preferably something I could bake with ingredients on hand.
I turned first to Smitten Kitchen hoping she’d have something fabulous I could make with the amazing damson plum jam that Mel made this summer, and this Easy Jam Tart recipe absolutely fits the bill. No complicated patisserie work, just a simple tart. The dough is quick and needs only 30 minutes in the freezer before pressing into the pan, and 30 minutes after. Add jam and bake about 30 minutes. Seriously, a 90-minute tart.
It was supposed to have this lovely top crust of overlapping leaves of dough, but clearly I didn’t reserve enough, and had to wing it. Next time I think I’ll skip it altogether.
