Place the pastry-lined tin on a baking tray, cover loosely with cling film and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. Press the pastry into the flutes of the tin then lightly prick the base with a fork, but not quite all the way through. If the pastry has cracked at all, simply press it together to seal. Carefully lift the tin base off the work surface, drop it into the tin.Įase the pastry into the corners and up the sides of the tin, pressing the overhang lightly over the rim. Gently fold the pastry surrounding the tin base in towards the centre. Roll out the pastry, still on the base, until it is 4in/10cm larger than the tin, turning a quarter-turn ever couple of rolls.

Anyway, I used the Stonewall Brand of Sour Cherry Jam, which can be purchased at Amazon, or is also in may grocery stores. (Her original recipe, linked in the top part of my recipe, also calls for making one’s own jam, from raspberries- i didn’t want to deal with the seeds). I think the bigger pieces of fruit perhaps don’t allow the flavor to be distributed as evenly in that volume. I think if you are using preserves, you may want to go to 1/2 cup, but I have never done this, so I don’t know exactly how it would work. I didn’t feel that was quite enough to spread over my 9” crust, so I increased the amount I used to 1/3 cup. Regarding the amount of jam, Mary Berry’s original recipe called for 4 Tablespoons, or 1/4 cup. So glad to hear, Nanci, that everyone liked the Bakewell Tart.
