Mr Kipling Jam Tarts 6 Pack (150g)

Very good jam and the crust is tasty too.

Remember being tiny and munching on these beauties! I've never been a fan of apricot jam but I can inhale 5 of these at a time! Arrived well packaged, not crumbled and ruined so I was very happy. We definitely have fought for the blackcurrant and apple ones.

Mr Kipling has some of my most favorite baked treats. The Jam Tarts are a great choice if you're looking for something on the sweeter end of the spectrum. It consists of a crumbly, pastry shell that holds a generous helping of fruit jam with raspberry, blackcurrant and apricot flavors. The pastry and the jam complement each other pretty well. The only thing is that during the shipping process, the pastry casing can break very easily. Overall though, its a well put together treat.

I was so happy to see Mr Kipling Jam Tarts on the BCS, I thought they were going to be like the fruit tartlets I miss so much from my childhood in France. I have to say I was somehow disappointed as the base was too soft and not as crumbly as in my memories. The jam filling was satisfying and not overly sweet but I don't think I will buy it again.

Wanted to like these. However, I found the fillings to be on the bland side. Also, the pastry casings were all broken at arrival. Quite possibly a rare happening, as BCS usually packages everything so carefully for shipping. I may try them again see if they improve.

I love so many products from Mr Kipling and it's great to be reunited with some again here in France thanks to British Corner Shop. Their jam tarts contain a generous filling and there's that excellent pastry to enjoy. Raspberry is my favourite flavour but I'll eat any filling actually!

Never having tried jam tarts, I wasn't sure what to expect. What a pleasant surprise! All three flavours of blackcurrant, raspberry and apricot were delicious. The filling was light, fruity and not over sugared. The crusts were soft and thin and gave just the right balance to the filling. I can't wait to try the individual flavour packs.

Mr. Kipling makes the most wonderful baked goods, in my opinion they are the best you can buy. The pastry on these tarts taste like it was home made, the jam filling is not only tasty but very generous. They freeze very well so you can enjoy a jam tart any time the mood takes you. I highly recommend Mr. Kipling baked goods and puddings. (also readily available at BCS).

Yes, jam tarts take me back. We've all made them when we were little - and not so little. There is nothing to beat that combination of pastry and jam, no other ingredient to distract the taste buds! And yes, you can't make them as well at home so you might as well stock up on these.

You just can't make jam tarts like this at home, for a few reasons. Firstly, the shape of the foil tin. It's impossible to find them on sale and ordinary patty tins are too deep. Secondly, the pastry. The closest you can get is French or Italian sweet crust pastry, but it will never be as nice as Mr Kipling's mixture between shortbread and sweet crust. Thirdly, the jam is particular. It's a mixture between a fruit jam and a jelly and it tastes delicious. If you try making your own with that amount of filling, they are going to over boil and come out of the pastry cases. So, you see... it's best to order Mr. Kipling's Jam Tarts, two or three boxes at a time.
