Preheat oven to 300º.

To prepare the glaze, in a small saucepan, combine the preserves and water. Stir over medium heat until melted. Strain and cool slightly.
Spread cream cheese mixture in tart shell. Arrange peaches around the outer edges of shell and place strawberries in the center. Brush with glaze. Chill until glaze is set, about 1 hour. Cut into wedges and serve.
