This section is from the book "The Table: How To Buy Food, How to Cook It, and How to Serve It", by Alessandro Filippini. Also available from Amazon: The Table: How To Buy Food, How To Cook It And How To Serve It.
Take half a pound of feuilletage (No. 1076), roll it out twelve inches long by eight wide, then with a paste-cutter (No. 7) cut out six pieces, and arrange them neatly on six scalloped tart-molds, each three and a half inches wide. Take each separate mold in the hand, and with the thumb press the paste gently at the bottom and sides, so to give it the perfect shape of the mold, but avoid pressing the paste on the edge, so that in baking it will swell and raise beautifully. Divide three ounces of apple marmalade (No. 1332) into six equal parts, and fill the bottom of the tarts with it, then wipe six good-sized, solid, fine peaches, peel and cut them into six quartered pieces ; arrange them nicely over the marmalade in the tarts, then distribute two ounces of powdered sugar evenly over all ; lay them on a baking-sheet, put them in a moderate oven for twenty minutes, draw them to the door, and sprinkle the edges lightly with powdered sugar ; then leave them in the closed oven for two minutes to allow the sugar to melt thoroughly. Remove them from the fire, put to cool for twenty minutes, and then spread evenly over the peaches one and a half ounces of apple jelly (No. 1327). Dress the tarts on a dessert-dish with a folded napkin, and serve.
