I must admit that my first foray into the mason jar craze was for savory items and in fact 150 Best Meals in a Jarby Tanya Linton is mostly just that, however, there are some great desserts too, such as this No-Bake Raspberry Tart. And it couldn’t be easier, using purchased graham cracker crumbs, a cheesecake-y layer and a combo of both fresh berries and raspberry jam. We tried this substituting Greek yogurt for the sour cream and we loved it. Check out Tanya’s book for main dishes as well and since you have the graham crackers handy, look at her Cute and Clever Key Lime Pie.
