One of the women I worked with adored these tarts and frequently brought some to the office. They were excellent. When whipped cream is added on top, these become even more wonderful.

Ingredients
- 12 (4 inch) prepared tart shells, baked

Instructions
- To Make Glaze: Blend the sugar, cornstarch, and salt; stir into apple juice. Cook over a medium heat, stirring constantly until smooth and thick. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- Spread a small quantity of the glaze over the bottoms of the shells. Arrange washed and hulled fresh berries over the glaze, slicing if necessary to fit into the tarts. Spoon remaining glaze carefully over the berries, covering them well. Chill for 2 to 4 hours. Serve garnished with whipped cream if desired.

I uses pineapple juice instead of apple juice for the glaze and cut the recipe in half and it was perfect for 12 tarts. I’m on my way to a garden club meeting so I shaped the strawberries sort of like flowers and made the tart cups out of pie dough—delicious?!
I loved this recipe! But I would recommend to add some lemon zest and juice to make the glaze a little less sweet.
These tarts were sooo easy to make with apple juice already on my grocery list I had to make them….were soo delicious
So good! The glaze tastes amazing and goes so well with the strawberries. Definitely good to make with kids, as they are easy and look great!
THIS WAS AMAZING
I used lactose free cool whip instead whipped cream.
The tart was delicious. I couldn’t get the glaze to set but I’ll have to try again. I used an easy crust recipe I had and molded it into a cupcake pan.
Easy to make and delicious to eat. This will be a regular on my list of deserts.
Nice and easy. You can substitute any fruit and it will taste just as good!
Love these and so does my family, we love strawberries and these are great.
This is an easy recipe and a nice light dessert anytime of the year……to make it have a bit more eye appeal…I added a couple of drops of red food coloring to the glaze…..with just the juice it is rather bland looking. Also tried this recipe using keebler graham cracker 8″ crust…came out delicious. …good presentation.
I’ve used this recipe twice now. Each time my family has gobbled it up. I like others could not find the ready made tart crusts. I just used the ready made pie crust and made one big strawberry pie. The second time I mixed blueberries with the strawberries. Thanks for the delicious, light recipe.
Amazing!! I brought these to a party and my best friend and mom were fighting over the last of them… Thanks for sharing!!!
Amazing! These are the best tarts ever!
I used pie crust to make my tart shells and I didn’t have apple juice, so substituted with orange juice and they are AWESOME! 🙂 I also didn’t have fresh berries, so using frozen was a bit tricky!! Next time I will let them defrost in my colander over a bowl and use a bit of their juice in the glaze too! This is my first stab at tarts and this recipe was great to use. I will make my own lil modifications next time around! Thanks for this!
I like the overall taste. Though I’m not used to make strawberry tarts. Did you make this recipe?
MUST MAKE SURE TO POUR ALL SAUCE OVER BERRIES AT SAME TIME AND SAME TEMP AS SAUCE SETS UP QUICKLY WHEN ITS COOL.
I loved this recipe! However, I found it difficult to find prepared tart shells, so I had to bake my own. The glaze was incredible and the strawberries were the perfect compliment!
This glaze is easy and it works. Thanks again Carol!
This is a simple, yet fantastic, dessert to make. I didn’t have apple juice so used mango juice in place and it turned out very yummy.
This was very good! There was way too much glaze, and I ended up throwing a lot of it away. Next time I will make 1/2 the amount of glaze. Great flavor!
