Puff Pastry Tartlets

1. Preheat oven to 180°C/360°F/gas mark 4.
2. Carefully roll out the pastry until it is 1cm thick. Using a scone cutter, approximately 10cm in diameter, cut out the pastry. Place your cut pastry onto a lined baking sheet.
3. Place a small amount of frozen fruit in the centre of each pastry circle, and sprinkle with a little sugar. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges have risen and are golden.
4. Carefully place on a cooling rack. While the pastries are baking, place all of the glaze ingredients into a saucepan. Heat gently until the apricot jam has melted.
5. Finally, brush the cooked pastries with the glaze and dust with a little icing sugar.

CHEF’S TIP: have made these with many other fruits. Both frozen and fresh have worked well.
