Alright, definitely @lakshmi! Here's the recipe for these tarts ->

Ingredients
For Crust:
3 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
6 tablespoons lard, coconut oil, or vegetable shortening
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) ice cold butter, cubed
1/2 cup ice cold water
For Filling
2 1/2 cups fresh (or frozen) mixed berries
6 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
juice from 1/2 a lemon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of salt
1 egg and 1 tablespoon of water for eggwash (optional)
Instructions

Combine flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of food processor and pulse. Add butter and lard and pulse a few times more until crumbly. Add water and process until the dough comes together, adding more water if necessary. Turn out onto lightly floured surface and divide into two halves. Flatten into disks and wrap each in plastic wrap and place in fridge for 1 hour or until you're ready to use it.
While pastry is chilling, make filling. Combine all ingredients for filling in a large mixing bowl and gently toss berries to coat.
Heat oven to 400 degrees F (200 C) and line 2 baking trays very well with parchment, foil, or silicone pads (it's a guarantee these tarts are going to leak.)
Roll out one half of pastry dough on lightly floured surface and use a knife to cut a rounded triangle shape (alternatively, you can just make circles to keep it simple.). Spoon about 1/4 cup of filling onto crust in the shape of a heart (see pictures). Fold about an inch of the edges all the way around filling. Use a large spatula to place on baking tray and repeat steps until all tarts are made.
If desired, brush edges with eggwash for browning then place in oven and bake for 15 - 20 minutes until edges are golden.
Remove and cool for about five minutes before serving. These are great topped with vanilla ice cream.
