Jam Tarts (Paleo & SCD)

Ok, these are a bit trickier than my usual recipes, but I so wanted to be able to make a jam tart with all that jam we've been experimenting with.

They are a little fiddly and it takes a while to mold the pastry into the cases.  BUT it's worth it!

Be careful with the cooking; I rotate my tray before putting it back in the oven with the filled tarts.  They can get too brown very quickly.

My apologies that the photo isn't as fancy as usual.  My final batch that tastes perfect was in the oven a bit too long and are too brown for a photo.  :(  I was a little discouraged, but thought I'd post it anyway and take a fancy photo the next time I bake these.  (One of the only drawbacks to creating recipes is having to make and taste test the same recipe so many times in a row.  Sorry, but I'm over my craving for jam tarts! LOL)

Hope you enjoy them.
