Peach Custard Tarts

Step 1: Remove tart shells cases from the package.

Step 2: Drain peaches, reserve juice and slice 12 peaches in half lengthwise and reserve remaining peaches for another use.

Step 3: Place tart shells on a tray.

Step 4: Place custard and reserved juice in a small heavy based saucepan and cook and stir over a moderately low heat until heated.

Step 5: Mix cornflour with 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl and stir into custard and cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes or until mixture boils and thickens.

Step 6: Transfer to a heatproof jug and cover surface directly with baking paper (prevents custard forming a skin) and then chill, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes (custard will thicken on cooling).

Step 7: Spoon cooled custard into tart shells cases and arrange 2 peach slices on top of custard and chill for 30 minutes.

Step 8: Carefully brush tart tops with jam and then chill for 5 minutes and then serve.
