Simple Plum Tarts
This is one of the easiest pastries that you’re ever going to make, because there is really not much baking involved, it’s really a matter of assembly. It requires nothing more than fresh stone fruit, puff pastry, and sugar. Yep, that’s pretty much it. I used plums because they are in season, and I love them, but next time, if I can get my hands on some delicious peaches, I’m going to use them. I’m sure that nectarines or apricots would work equally as well, and if I’m feeling dangerously inventive, I may give fresh cherries a go.

Ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (from a 17.3-oz. pkg.), thawed
- 1 pound Melissa's Organic Plum Bites, pitted, sliced into wedges*
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- Powdered sugar
- Honey or maple syrup to drizzle
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Unfold pastry onto cutting board. You will see that it makes a triptych. Cut on those two fold lines, and then cut in half to make six 4" rectangles. Place pastry on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Top with plum slices, leaving a ½" border. Sprinkle each tart with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Bake tarts, until edges of pastry are puffed and golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup just before serving.
