Fruit Tartlets in Jelly
Description
A delicious appetizer for any gathering. Making fruit tartlets is easy. I will show you a simple dough recipe for the tartlets themselves, but you can also just buy ready-made molds or use ready-made dough. To make fruit tartlets in jelly, you can use ready-made decorating gel—it is also jelly, only with a firmer consistency, and you will just need to dilute it. Or simply take a packet of gelatin and prepare it yourself. You can use a wide variety of fruits. I like the combination of grapes, mango, and mandarin. The appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.
