a clean pantry

So my darling daughter was on a sort and tidy frenzy and attacked 3 of my kitchen drawers.  Go girl!  And then she asked- what’s next?  I said she could start in the pantry, one shelf at a time, and before I knew it, she had the whole pantry tidy!  What an angel!

With a little of the apricot jam I made, I decided to make some jam frangapani tartlets.  I confess that I bought the shortcrust pastry shells ready made this time.  Why?  because last time I couldn’t be bothered blind baking all the fiddly little tartlet shells so I didn’t, and the pastry ended up a bit raw and for some hidous reason tasted like fish!  ugh!  My husband tasted one, said they were fine, just needed a little tartare sauce.  humph, thanks.  So that’s why I bought the tartlet shells ready made this time.
