Ingredients

  • 1 pint fresh strawberries
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 package Trader Joe's or your favorite pie crust
  • 1 T Grand Marnier
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • skim milk
  • sanding sugar for garnish

Instructions

  • roll out the dough onto a floured surface. cut out 8 hearts using a cookie cutter. you can also make other shapes if that's what you prefer
  • cut the strawberries into small pieces and put into a bowl. pour the sugar over the strawberries and mix together. Let the strawberries sit in the sugar for at least 10 minutes. A sugar sauce should start to form. This is called letting the fruit "macerate"
  • mix in the Grand Marnier and lemon zest (optional)
  • Using a slotted spoon, put a small amount of the strawberry mixture into the center of 1/2 of the heart shapes (the other half will go on top)
  • place the tops on each tart and use a fork to seal the edges
  • brush the top of each tart with a little milk to help them brown up in the oven
  • pierce the top of each tart with a fork
  • Bake according to box directions (approximately 15 minutes at 350 if not otherwise specified)--until the crust is golden brown
  • enjoy!
