I liked the idea of these tarts and the ingredients in the dough, but no matter how long I baked them, they didn't brown on top and they were still doughy. Most likely something I may have done wrong. Wish my tarts looked like the picture, but alas they didn't. That won't stop us from eating them though. I think maybe the preserves need to be thicker or maybe drained a bit as they do run during cooking. Thanks for the post. Made for Fall PAC, 2012.
