These sweet fruit tarts would be a great addition to any summer dinner menu or afternoon tea stand - serve them with a generous dollop of creme fraiche or vanilla ice cream for a truly special dessert that is ready in less than an hour.
Set the oven to 220°C/425°C/Gas Mark 7. Heat the sugar with the vanilla seeds in a small non-stick pan over a medium heat and stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves and then caramelises. Quickly pour into the tins. Add a small knob of butter to each onen then arrange halved strawberries, cut side up, in a floral patter on the caramel.
Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to a 20 x 20cm (8 x 8 in) square. Cut out 4 x 10cm (4in) rounds and place on top of the fruit in the tins. Bake for 20-25 mins until the pastry is well risen and golden. Leave for 10 mins, then slide a knife around the edges and turn them out on to paper. Serve warm on plated with crème fraiche.
