This recipe was extracted from Original White House Cookbook (1887) by Hugo Ziemann, F. L. Gillette, Hugo Zimmerman, mrs gillette, page 207. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.
Tarts of strawberry or any other kind of preserves are generally made of the trimmings of puff paste rolled a little thicker than for ordinary pies ; then cut out with a round cutter, first dipped in hot water, to make the edges smooth, and placed in small tart-pans, first pricking a few holes at the bottom with a fork before placing them in the oven. Bake from ten to fifteen minutes. Let the paste cool a little ; then fill it with pre- serve. By this manner, both the flavor and color of the jam are preserved, which would be lost were it baked in the oven on the paste ; and, besides, so much jam is not required. TARTLETS. No.
