Method

1. Roll out pastry and use to line tartlet tins, then put in fridge to chill for 30 mins, if time permits. Line each one with greaseproof paper and fill with beans or rice. Bake for about 7 mins, then remove paper and beans or rice and bake for a few more mins, till pastry is a pale biscuit colour. Leave to cool.

2. Brush bottom of each pastry case with ½tsp melted redcurrant jelly, then top with cream. Chill till ready to serve, then top with fruit and brush fruit with remaining melted jelly. Serve immediately.
