Festive Bakewell Tart Recipe
A Bakewell Tart is such a classic recipe that I thought I'd try it with a festive twist using Christmas jam. If you'd rather, use normal jam for a classic bake. You can also make your own pastry case but I like to use ready made ones to save time - plus I'm a little bit useless at making pastry!
