At my home, grape jam tart is a classic, and grape jam is the most popular.
With the amount in this recipe, you can make at least two tarts of medium size, and the calories are calculated for one tart.
The tart is a dessert that reminds us of childhood snacks, at least for me, and every time I offer it to my kids, they are really happy to have it as a snack, even though they are grown up now.
The grape jam tart is a rustic and inviting dessert that combines the sweetness of the jam with the crispness of the shortcrust pastry.
The grape jam offers an intense sweetness, with a hint of acidity that balances it all.
If you like, once cooked, you can sprinkle it with powdered sugar, but this time I preferred to serve it as is.
The aroma of the tart is enveloping and inviting, perfect for serving as a dessert after a meal.

Preparation of the Grape Jam Tart
Make a dough with all the ingredients, then place the mixture on a work surface, work it until you obtain a dough ball, and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
After the time has passed, roll out the dough on a floured surface and place it in a tart pan, add the jam (I used homemade grape jam) and finish it with strips of shortcrust pastry as shown in the photo.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 40 minutes.
