Was clearing the kitchen cabinets few days back with my helper
....it was a traffic jam in there..no one can steer away or get out of those..one wanted to take over another one... when you try to take out one bottle, out comes another and another or maybe one falls on your head.. it's like every bottle wants to get out from there..yeah! they wanted to tell me "get me out of here"!!!
... the expiry dates are getting closer or the warnings are coming " Consume within the six weeks after opening"..OK OK..so turn by turn I look at them and told them that they could survive a few more weeks, or months...but unfortunately, one couldn't wait that long and it was my Jam bottle
...May be you know by now that we don't finish up the jam very quickly, but this time I thought I'll use it very quickly and I did...I made Jam Tarts..yes !
a very simple and yummy recipe.. this time we didn't throw away the Jam bottle, instead after using the jam I cleaned the bottle and kept it for my masala's or spice's to fill in..because I
the shape of the bottle.. 
- 100g plain flour
- pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp caster sugar
- 50g butter or margarine
- 1-2 tbsp chilled water
- 50g vanilla strawberry jam
- 50g apricot jam
Place flour, salt, sugar and butter in to a food processor and mix until coarse crumbs are formed. Now add the water and blend till a ball is formed. Chill the pastry for half an hour so. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface, and cut out 2 1/2 " round. Grease 2 shallow tart tins and place into tart tins. Now put a small spoonful of jam into each tart. Bake in a moderate oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry goes light brown. Cool on a wire rack.
Enjoy as much as my son did.
The jam tarts look very delicious. Like you always have jam left over and end up using them up as sweetners in curries. I'll try your recipe.
