2 c. Sweet Shortcut pastry dough

FILLING:

Selections such as pears, apples, grapes
Lemon juice
3/4 c. apricot jelly
Candied cherries
Handful of dried beans

Set oven to 400 degrees. Roll out dough on lightly floured board. Cut dough into circles and line individual tins. Place small rounds of greased paper in the patty cases and fill with dried beans. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Then let cool.

Meanwhile, prepare the fruit, peel and slice pears thinly and dip each in lemon juice. Halve and seed grapes. Do the same with apples. But leave the peel if it is red.

Heat apricot jam in small pan and add a few drops of lemon juice. Stir until blended, strain it. Fill pastry cases with fruit and brush with apricot glaze.
