To Serve:
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
To make pastry, in a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. With a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter or margarine until mixture is coarse crumbs. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons water, toss with a fork until mixture holds together. Add remaining water, if necessary. Shape pastry into a ball.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 12" circle. Line a 10" quiche or flan pan with the pastry and prick with a fork. Line with foil and weight with dry beans or pie weights. Bake 10 minutes. Remove foil and beans/weights and bake 5 minutes more or until golden. Cool completely on wire rack.
Reduce oven temperature to 400°F.
Arrange grapes in alternating circles by color beginning from the outside of the crust. Bake 12 to 15 minutes. Cool.
Press jam through a sieve into a small saucepan and cook over low heat until jam is melted, stirring constantly. Cool slightly. Stir in sherry. Brush glaze over grapes; let stand until set.
Serve at room temperature or chilled, with sweet whipped cream.
