I was reviewing some of my recipes to feature and was reminded of this one which was a favourite in the tea room. Also, visiting a Canadian friend recently, she was reminiscing about these tarts, so thought I would make some of for her. It’s a very popular Canadian recipe and although the pastry is different, it works well. Hope you enjoy it, eh!
