Procedure

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Slice stone fruit and strawberries (if using). Per tart: Toss 1/2 cup fruit (in any combination) with 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Let the fruit sit, tossing occasionally, for at least 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, roll each pie crust into a 12-inch circle. Using a small bowl (about 5 1/2 inches wide) as a guide, cut 3 circles from each pie crust. Place the crusts on the prepared baking sheets. Divide the fruit among the circles, leaving a 1-inch border. Crimp the border.
4. Lightly brush the crusts with water and sprinkle each with 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Bake until the fruit is bubbling and the crust is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let tarts cool for 10 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the jam and lemon juice. Gently brush over the fruit while the tarts are still warm. Serve warm or at room temperature.

The whole process will take you for about an hour to make this delicious fresh summer tarts recipe. This should yield at least 12 tarts. It’s a perfect tart recipe for the whole family especially this summer season. The combination of flavors and sweet aroma of the tart is so hard to resist.
