Preparation
STEP 1
To make the crust, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and sugar in a medium bowl. Spoon mixture into a 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Press crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of the pan, chill until ready to fill.
STEP 2
To make the filling, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan. Add evaporated milk and whisk to combine. Bring to a boil over medium-low heat, while whisking vigorously until it starts to thicken, about 1 – 2 minutes.
STEP 3
Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 1 minute, still whisking; then remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. For an extra silky texture strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a shallow bowl, optional.
STEP 4
Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the cream to prevent skin from forming. Refrigerate until chilled, for at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.
STEP 5
To assemble, spoon filling into prepared crust. Arrange fruit on top of filling in any pattern or design of your liking. Pick fruits of different colors, have fun with it!
STEP 6
Heat the jam and water in microwave for about 30 seconds or in a small pot over low heat. Stir to combine. Using a pastry brush, glaze the top of fruit to make it shiny and preserve the fruit. Keep chilled. Serve within 24 hours.
