1. 1

   Bring 1/4 litre of water, 100 g of sugar, 1 packet of vanillin sugar, cinnamon stick and lemon juice to the boil in a pot. In the meantime peel and halve the pears and remove the core. Steam the pear halves in the sugar solution for about 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Let it cool down on a sieve. Cream fat, remaining sugar and vanillin sugar. Add eggs, rum and milk bit by bit. Mix flour, baking powder and chocolate flakes and fold into the dough.

3. 3

   Cut the pears into slices. Put about 1/2 tablespoon of dough into each paper baking tin. Place 2-3 pear wedges on the dough and cover each with approx. 1/2 tablespoon of dough. Cover the tartlets with the remaining pear wedges.

4. 4

   Put the tartlets on a grate. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ gas: level 2) for about 20 minutes. Heat up the jam, pass through a sieve and spread it on the still hot pear wedges on the tartlets.
