Open Jam Tarts

The assembled unbaked tart can be frozen for up to 1 month. Place on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Bake directly from frozen, adding 5-10 minutes to the baking time. The egg wash should be applied just before baking for best color.

Store baked tarts loosely covered at room temperature for up to 2 days. Do not refrigerate, as this will make the pastry soggy. The tart is best served the day it's baked when the pastry is at its crispest. Refresh in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes if needed.
