PREPARATION JAM TART WITH CHERRY JAM
Making the JAM TART WITH CHERRY JAM is really simple and quick.
First, prepare the shortcrust pastry. Pour the flour into a bowl or into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle. Create a well in the center and add the cold butter cut into pieces, the sugar, a pinch of salt, and the lemon zest.
Work everything quickly until you obtain a sandy mixture.
At this point add the room-temperature eggs and incorporate them into the mixture until you obtain a smooth, homogeneous dough.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
After chilling, take part of the shortcrust and roll it out with a rolling pin to a thickness of about 1/6 in (4 mm), using a little flour to help if necessary.
Cover a 8–8.7 in tart pan with the pastry, prick the base with the tines of a fork, and fill it with the jam.
Roll out the remaining pastry and use cookie cutters to cut out the shapes you want, then carefully place the pastry shapes on the surface of the tart and seal the edges well.
Bake in a preheated conventional (static) oven at 356°F and bake for 30–35 minutes.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool completely before removing from the pan.
