    Bake about 15 minutes. Remove tarts from pans onto wire rack while still hot; place small pastry stars on top of jam. Cool.

Notes

Tarts can be made one day ahead; store, in a single layer, in an airtight container. The stars of the day can act all grown-up like their favourite celebrity with a flute of pink fizz in one hand and a canapé in the other. As well, there’s the kids’ all-time favourite jam tarts made into star shapes.
