Pop Tarts

After going through a marmalade and jam-making frenzy, I'm now left with a burning question, what pastries to make that I could use the jams with? Thanks to the Daring Bakers, I already had the marmalade tarts, but I still wanted to find more...while browsing the net, I came across this recipe from one of my favorite blogs and this one which is a new revelation, so I decided to try pop tarts.
For the pop-tarts I used my favorite Pineapple-Ginger Jam and I chose to make it more simple by not glazing it afterwards.
They kept surprisingly well...I think this is after 5 days...
And I sliced them, you can see my home made Pineapple-Ginger Jam inside...and so after 5 minutes...

This was all that was left...*burp*

  1. Pineapple ginger jam? Yum! My question is, how on earth did they ever last 5 days?? I prefer them without the glaze too.

  11. That is the flakiest Pop Tart I've ever seen! Love that you filled them with that amazing pineapple ginger jam you used in your crostata. I guess you could call these 'hand held' crostatas :)
