Strawberry and Whole Sugar Tartlets Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 sheet ready-made pie crust
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
• 1/4 cup whole cane sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Unroll the pie crust and cut it into 4 equal pieces.
3. Place each piece of pie crust onto the prepared baking sheet.
4. In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, whole cane sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries have released their juices and the sugar has dissolved.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of cold water until smooth. Add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan and stir until well combined.
6. Continue to cook the strawberry mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes, until it has thickened. Remove from heat.
7. Spoon the strawberry mixture evenly among the 4 pie crusts on the baking sheet.
8. Bake the tartlets for 15-20 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
9. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
