    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out the tart shell dough on a lightly floured surface to fit your tart pan, pressing it gently into the edges for a snug fit.

    Spread a generous layer of strawberry jam over the base of the tart shell, smoothing it out with the back of a spoon until evenly coated.

    Arrange fresh strawberries, hulled and halved, over the jam, pressing them gently into the surface. The strawberries should be slightly overlapping to create a beautiful pattern.

    Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the jam is bubbling slightly around the edges.

    Watch out

    Ensure the crust doesn't burn; cover the edges with foil if they brown too quickly.

    Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. The jam will set as it cools, creating a luscious, glossy finish.
