In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in water, a tablespoon at a time, until mixture forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.

Place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough and using a pizza cutter or knife, cut off the edges to form a square. Cut the square into 4 separate squares.

With the extra pie dough cut out stamps, take a small (1-inch) heart-shaped cookie cutter and stamp out as many as you need for decoration.

Turn the squares slightly to form a diamond shape. Spread mixed fruit jam in the center, then place strawberries and apple slices on top, followed by raspberries. Sprinkle with the combined cinnamon and sugar.

Fold the corners of the squares towards the center and lightly press down to seal.

Place the heart stamps on the center of the envelopes.

Place the envelope pies on a baking tray, brush with whipping cream, and bake in a preheated oven at 170°C for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
