For filling, I went with toasted walnuts and fresh fruits &#8211; ripe mango, strawberries, plums, cherries and cantaloupe.<\/p>\n<p>Baked the pie shell in the oven for 15 minutes as per instructions on the cover of the pie shell package. Meanwhile I started to cut the ripe fruits in different shapes needed for my tart. With all the remaining scraps of fruit, I made jam\/jelly, just like that. I added 6 tablespoons of brown sugar and watched the fruit bits turn into bright, colorful mush on high heat. I let it cool, stored half of it as jam and to the remaining half, I added half a cup of toasted walnuts and pureed them together to a smooth paste. This was my tart filler. <\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/mahanandi\/images\/fruittart\/fruit.jpg\" class=\"noborder\" alt=\"bits of fruit for jam\" \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/mahanandi\/images\/fruittart\/fruitjam.jpg\" class=\"noborder\" alt=\"Jam\/Jelly\" \/><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>After filling the tart shell with the fruit-walnut puree, I arranged cut mangos, strawberries, plums, cherries and cantaloupe in order and refrigerated the tart for about one hour. Ta da&#8230; check the photo of fruit tart below, isn&#8217;t it colorful and pretty?<\/p>\n<p>What a quick and easy recipe, but it gives the impression as if it took hours to prepare.
