Air FryerBlueberry Jam Tarts

I grew upin a small seaside town in Yorkshire, England. It was famous for its awardwinning fish and chip shops, its roast beef pub dinners and its bakeries.

Wemoved away from Yorkshire in the September of 2004, but what we always loved todo when visiting is eat the delicious food.

Thebakeries are my biggest addiction. A bit like a French patisserie when you arespoilt for choice and want to eat it all!

One ofmy childhood favourites from the bakery was the delicious jam tart. You wouldlook at them sat in a row with a choice of different flavours and it would behard to pick just the one.

Before Iknew it, I will have left the bakery with a bag of different treats and claimthat the diet starts once they are all gone!

Thesame applied when we returned to Yorkshire briefly in the summer of 2018 while wewere on a road trip. I was in the local bakery so fast and it was nice to seethat my favourite bakery from childhood was still there.

We enjoyedsausage rolls, cheese pasties, cheese straws and not mention plenty of jamtarts.

Then complained that we wish this food was on our doorstep and why do we have to drive for almost 10,000km to get it!

What Is A JamTart?

A jam tart is a British jam filled pastry treat. If I was explaining it to a non-Brit, I would call it a blueberry jam mini tart.

Or it is like making air fryer blueberry turnovers, but instead of shaping for turnovers it is made into mini pie shapes.

There isno lid on a jam tart, and it is pie crust (also known as shortcrust pastry)that is filled ¾ full of jam and then baked in the air fryer or oven.

What Pastry IsJam Tarts Made Of?

The pastry used to make air fryer jam tarts is shortcrust pastry, or in America is what they call pie crust.

It is an easy to make pastry that is used a lot in both British, Australian and American baking.

Though you can follow our air fryer pie crust recipe here, like we are doing today in our jam tarts.

How To Make JamTarts With Self Raising Flour?

You can swap the recommended plain flour for self raising flour instead. I find that if you use self raising flour it will be thicker and puff up a little bit. It makes a much better jam tart and they all look better.

How Long Do JamTarts Keep?

This depends on how you plan to keep your jam tarts once you have baked them. If your jam tarts are placed in the fridge in an air tight container they will last 5-7 days.

However, they are so good I would love to find someone with willpower that can keep their jam tarts for that long!

How Do You MakeBlueberry Jam Tarts?

Here is the quick version ofmaking blueberry jam tarts in the air fryer:

1. Make your shortcrust pastry/pie crust depending on what you call it!
2. Roll out the pastry and line tart tins with the pastry.
3. Fill the tart tins to ¾ full with blueberry jam.
4. Place in the air fryer, cook and binge!

One of the first things we ever baked in the air fryer was air fryer strawberry jam tarts and it started an obsession with what sweet treats you can make in an air fryer.

Air Fryer Lemon Tarts

I am a huge fan of lemon curd and often make it in the instant pot. Instead of jam you can make tarts with any of your favourite curds. Just mix and match with what you have in your pantry.
