What’s Cooking Wednesday with Elizabeth Bright

Valentine’s Day Jam Tarts

This recipe is either easy or super easy, depending on whether you use store-bought pie crust or make it yourself. If you do use store bought, get the rolled kind, not the crust that is already in a pan.

Ingredients:

2 pie crusts

Any kind of jam (my favorite is lemon curd)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375
Let dough come to room temperature before you roll out. Using a glass or a cookie cutter, cut dough into 3 inch circles. Use remaining dough to make heart shapes for decorating.
Place circles into a min muffin pan or mini tart pans. Fill ¾ with jam.
Bake for 15-20 minutes
Remove from oven. Let cool. Enjoy!

After ten years of adventure, Colin Smith, the bastard son of a viscount, returns to the place he most despises ––London. But only until he can sell off some of his treasures. He has no use for the stifling rules of the ton, but he’s more than happy to play the game if it gets him what he wants.

Lady Claire, daughter of a marquess, is everything Colin loathes about the ton, but she is determined to win him over. Her life is a catalogue of dances and evening gowns, and thanks to an eidetic memory, she can remember every blasted, boring second of it. A treasure hunt for the Cleopatra Emerald promises adventure, but Claire wants more. If she can convince Colin Smith to take her with him as he travels the world, then she’ll have the life she’s always dreamed of. There’s just one problem, he doesn’t seem to like her much.

But Lady Claire loves a good challenge and the intellectual beauty may be on her way to the grandest adventure of all.
