Step 01
Put the flour, icing sugar and butter in a blender with a pinch of salt and pulse until sandy. Add the egg yolk and pulse again until it starts to come together.

Nothing takes you back to childhood quicker than a homemade jam tart, but these gothic black cherry numbers have been given a 'trick' of prickly floral flavour thanks to pink peppercorns. Great for Halloween, just don't eat them all before the trick or treaters start knocking.
Preparation Lab
Step 01
Put the flour, icing sugar and butter in a blender with a pinch of salt and pulse until sandy. Add the egg yolk and pulse again until it starts to come together.
Step 02
Tip the mixture out, shape into a ball and flatten into a disc. Wrap and rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Step 03
Heat the oven to 180C fan/gas 6 and grease a 12-hole cupcake tray with a little butter.
Step 04
Roll out the pastry to around 3-4mm thick and cut out 12 circles with a 9cm fluted cutter, re-rolling the leftover pastry as needed. Line the tray with the cases and prick the bases with a fork.
Step 05
Spoon the jam into each case. Roughly crush the pink peppercorns in a pestle and mortar and sprinkle over the tarts.
Step 06
Bake for 12-15 minutes. Leave to cool completely before eating.
