Fruit Delights

Use any flavor jam or jelly you like, a mixture of colors makes for a beautiful display. Fill party cups and bake at 350 degrees until bubbly and set, 10-15 minutes. Let cool.

Garnish with whipped cream if you like. A sprig of mint adds lovely color contrast to the jewel toned tartlets!
