Pasta Flora

This traditional Greek jam tart recipe, known as Pasta Flora, is a real childhood favourite for many. I didn’t actually try it until I visited the remote island of Ikaria, my father-in-law’s birthplace. To this day I get so excited when the postman delivers us the occasional box full of my father-in-law’s homemade Ikarian jams, reminding me of the natural bounty of that island! My husband’s aunt can make a Pasta Flora in a matter of minutes - so it’s a recipe I had to master! It’s a brilliant dinner party dessert, but it’s so easy you could make it everyday (but beware, if you make it everyday it gets eaten everyday! At least by my children, who seem to never tire of it)! This is the perfect recipe for when you have a glut of jams, too - here, I used the deliciously fragrant quince jam my father-in-law sent. Good quality jam is a must for this recipe.
