Steps

  • Heat blueberry jam ingredients in a saucepan until berries burst and mixture thickens.
  • Strain the jam through a sieve and leave to cool completely.
  • Rub butter into flour until crumbly, stir in sugar, then cut in the egg to form a dough ball.
  • Wrap pastry in film and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • Roll out pastry to 3mm thickness on greaseproof paper and cut 12 circles with a 5cm cutter.
  • Place pastry circles in a greased muffin tin and press 1cm x 18cm strips around the sides.
  • Chill the lined tin for 15 minutes and preheat the oven to 170°C.
  • Beat frangipane ingredients together until smooth.
  • Prick pastry bases, add 2.5ml of jam to each, and top with frangipane.
  • Bake for 25 minutes until golden, then cool on a wire rack.
  • Mix icing sugar with water to a thick paste, spread over cooled tarts, and top with fresh blueberries.
