Cut 4 inch x 2.5 inch rectangles from the dough.Once the jam has completely cooled, roll out the pie dough to ⅛-in thickness.Let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate the jam to let it cool completely before using it for the pop tarts. Once ready, remove pot from the heat and transfer the jam to a heatproof container. If it takes several seconds for the line to fill back up, the jam is usually ready.
