fun with food: Rainbow Jam Tarts

Christmas is just four days away and since I don't have a job yet I have been baking pretty much. The latest stuff I baked are cookies, and since it was too much for just me and my hubby so I thought to buy Christmas cookie jars so I can give some to his parents, his sister and her family and to a friend of his parents - a couple who have become our nice friends as well for the last three years that I have been in Norway.

Basically I just browse for recipes online or sometimes I browse from food magazines that you can get from food stores here for free. The latest one I made just yesterday is called Rainbow jam tarts from Jamie Olivers site. It is pretty easy and tastes pretty good so anyone can totally do it.

I used blueberry, orange and strawberry jams for the fillings. I also used lemon curd on a few of them and I think it is my favorite so far :) you can get the recipe here:

I had no small tart tin pans yet so I used the muffin former pan and it worked just fine. I also used the zest of orange and not lemon since it's what I had available.

I bought this jars at clas ohlson and it was on sale so I got a pretty good deal.

and here is the final result, ready to be given away.

I mixed the rainbow jam tarts with the other cookies I made which is the chocolate cookies and lemon cookies with grounded mixed nuts (walnut, cashew, peanut,almond).
