Jam Puff Pastry Tarts
Flaky, golden puff pastry filled with bright New Canaan Farms jam makes these tarts an easy win for entertaining or everyday baking. They come together quickly with store-bought pastry and just a spoonful of jam in each, baking into crisp, fruit-filled bites that feel thoughtful without requiring much effort. Choose a single jam or mix a few seasonal favorites for variety.
Serves: 18 tarts
Prep Time: 15 minutes (plus thawing time)
Cook Time: 15–20 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 sheets store-bought puff pastry, thawed
- ½ cup New Canaan Farms jam, choose your favorite
- 1 egg, beaten
- Raw turbinado sugar, for finishing
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
Serve With: Coffee, Rose Hibiscus tea, or a dessert board with fresh fruit and whipped cream.
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly flour a work surface and roll each puff pastry sheet into a 10x10-inch square. Cut each sheet into 9 equal squares.
- Prick each square lightly with a fork to prevent over-puffing.
- Place 1 teaspoon of New Canaan Farms jam in the center of each square. Brush the edges with egg wash, then bring the corners up to the center, pinching and twisting gently to seal.
- Arrange the tarts on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the pastry is deeply golden. If any corners loosen while baking, gently press them back toward the center while the tarts are still warm.
- Let cool for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the jam to set.
