Glazed Fruit Tartlets

 Yesterday, we had a street get together. Following the street party last year for the jubilee, and the setting up of a Residents association, we decided that it would be good to have a yearly get together.
Some of the neighbours kindly had it in their back garden, and a good time was had by all.
Of course I took along desserts! I had planned to make one of the more complicated recipes - I realise that there are definitely some that I am putting off - but the time of the event was moved to earlier in the day, in order to avoid the heavy downpours. I decided that this was not the day to try a three page recipe!
I decided upon these glazed fruit tartlets, which I was really pleased with. I also made some little lime tarts with the extra pastry. At the pampered chef evening we had been shown how to make lime cheesecakes, so I just used the same filling - philidelphia, lime juice and icing sugar.
Pate sucree (sweet pastry), continues to be difficult to work with, and was certainly no easier in warm weather, however, at least they were only small tarts, and therefore it was easier to transfer the pastry to the tins.
I would definitely make these again, and they seemed to go down very well. 9.0
