Fantastic Bake Along -Cherry Tarts

Published on by Tracy @ It's a T-Sweets Day!

It’s Christmas time and things are definitely going full steam around my house right now. I bet it is the same around your house too. So for this month’s Bake Along I decided to save the stress on someone else and I would be the host.

I realize that many of you will be too busy to join along. I get it, it’s busy. BUT if you do have an afternoon free for baking this week, I hope you will consider trying these absolutely wonderful, divine, fantastic Cherry Tarts.

This picture was taken a few years back. As you can see, my kids LOVE Cherry Tarts!

I warn you in advance though, once you make them, they will become a Christmas must each year like they are in my house!❤️😊

If you are interested in joining in the fun, here is how to do it:

Easy, right?! Just comment that you want to join along and you are in:)❤️. Now for the recipe:

Cherry TartsRecipe by Tracy @It’s a T-Sweets Day!Yields 18 Tarts Ingredients:

  • 1 can of cherry pie filling
  • 2.5″ Round cookie cutter

Crust:

  • 1 1/4c shortening
  • 3c flour
  • 1tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2T vinegar
  • 1/3c cold water

Icing:

  • 2c powdered sugar
  • 1/4c milk
  • 1tsp vanilla

Directions: Make crust by cutting shortening, flour, and salt together using a pastry cutter or two knives. The shortening should be about pea sized. In a small bowl combine the egg, vinegar, and water. Add to the flour mixture. Mix until combined. If you need more pictures and directions on making pie crust, I have a more detailed recipe here.  Flour your counter top and roll the dough all out about 1/8″ -1/4″ thick.

With a round cookie cutter, cut as many circles as will fit in the dough. Place one or two cherries in the center of half of the circles. Less really is more with these Tarts.img_2388 Place the other half of the circles on top of the cherries and seal the edges with a fork.

img_2387 I have been making tarts for many years, so I have purchased a Pampered Chef Cut-n-Seal to help me seal the tarts.  It is easy to use and makes the tarts look very pretty, but it doesn’t make them taste any better 🙂

img_2386 Place the tarts on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350* for 30min. Some of the filling may ooze out a bit, that is fine. Make icing by combining milk, sugar and vanilla. Glaze warm tarts.

Finished! These Tarts are SWEET❤️❤️!

Thank you so much for dropping by today. I hope you will be joining us as we bake for Christmas:). Here is the list of those who have joined along in the past:

I am excited for Saturday! It’s going to be a delicious day:)!!

      1. I’m looking for it today, I’ll let you know if I find any, otherwise I will just buy cherries and make a caramelised cherry filling 😊❤️

  5. I may be late, and will have to ask Girl #1, because we saved enough cherries for at least a pie for when she’s home for Christmas! So, there will definitely be something cherry in the works this week, but not until she gets here on the 16th or 17th.♥️

  9. Tracy, here at my house we are huge fans of cherries. Cherry pie, cherry crisp, you name it. If we find the time to add another activity to our holiday season we just may have to try these tarts. Looks like a real winner. 🙂
