Pastry Dough
Jam Tart

This would be even more wonderful made with a Star of Bethlehem shape. It would have to be more oblong than circular, and would require nine different jams. Someone must sell jam sampler packs…
Late to the party , but in response to some of the comments, the video DOES show the six-pointed star along with a five-pointed star. I think someone calling it "misleading" is pretty harsh... just make your star five or six-points, it's not that hard for heaven sakes! And it is mentioned in the article, making the SIX points allows for 13 spaces in total to fill with your jam - spaces representing the 12 apostles plus Jesus. How interesting! Just my two cents.
Pamela, you took the words right out of my mouth. Which will be full of tart this evening. Have a healthy and happy 2024!
I made this recipe today. Used preserves of apricot, red raspberries, and black currents. The pastry was tough, I didn’t like it, next time I’ll use my tried and true pie crust. I agree with another commenter, it’s confusing, the video shows a 6 point start finished product is a 5 point star. It would help if the video showed how to make the star. Otherwise it’s delicious and pretty easy to make.
Looks so nice! I may try it with puff pastry or biscuit dough to have for breakfast!
This looks like an interesting pastry to make but the photo of the incomplete tart is a little misleading. The finished product is a 6 pointed star but the unfinished one is only a 5 pointed star.
Thank you Zach. I was not familiar with the Hindu symbol of the Shatkona. I'm on my way to do some research. It's always a good day when you can learn something new. Having both the Jewish and Christian faiths in my family history, I'm well aware of the connection of the two religions.
Yes, Christianity came out of Judaism, the star of david is also called the Shatkona in Hinduism, religious symbols are all shared throughout almost all religions regardless of meaning and also no matter how unique people think they are.
Not for nuthin', but this cake is in the shape of the Jewish star of David or Mogen David. How interesting is that? Is there a connection?
