Hertzoggies
Hertzoggies are light pastry tartlets with a delectable apricot jam meringue filling. Back in the day, homemade ‘konfyt’ using home –grown fruits such as apricots, formed the basis of fruit pie fillings. The convenience of quality canned jams provides us with the chance to enjoy these traditional tea-time classics.
