Tin Lizzie Jammy Tarts

As it's Trafalgar Day this week, what better than a recipe using Tin Lizzie, a strong barley wine reminiscent of the "October Ales" which were brewed in domestic brewhouses during the reign of Elizabeth I. 

Ingredients: 

• 4oz Plain Flour 
• 1oz Butter 
• 1oz Lard 
• 2 Tbsp Tin Lizzie
• Homemade Jam of your choice 
• Milk to brush 

1. Mix flour and fats with fingers until fine with breadcrumbs. 
2. Add Tin Lizzie, mix to a firm dough, put in fridge for 30 minutes. 
3. Pre-heat oven, gas mark 6. 
4. Roll out the pastry 2-3mm thick on a floured surface. 
5. Cut 12 disks, place in a floured tart tin, brush with milk. 
6. Bake in the centre of the oven for 10 minutes. 
7. Remove, add 1 teaspoon of jam per tart (don't overfill). 
8. Bake for a further 5-10 minutes until pastry is golden brown. 
9. Remove from oven, cool on wire racks. 

Devour like hungry sailors, with a glass or two of Tin Lizzie!
