Cherry Puff Pastry Tart
Ingredients :
200g cherries, washed & pitted
50g granulated sugar (adjust the sweetness to your liking)
Water (100ml to 120ml)
1 piece frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 small egg, lightly beaten (or just use half of it)
Method:
To prepare filling, combine the cherries, sugar and about 100ml of water in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook for about 10 minutes with stirring occasionally.
Off the flame and allow the mixture to cool.
Preheat oven to 180°C. Position the rack in the center. Prepare a baking sheet with lightly greased parchment paper.
Sprinkle some plain flour on the work surface. Place the pastry sheet on the work surface.
*Note: I didn't thaw the pastry sheet. Leave for about 2 minutes after taken out from the freezer, as I find it easier to handle.
Poke some holes at the base using a fork.
Spoon the cherry mixture on top of the puff pastry sheet, leaving one inch border. Roll the borders inward to create a dent.
Lightly brush the border with the beaten egg.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until pastry puffs up and turns golden brown.

Well, those easy cherry tarts happened to be my last bake as I had to issue a "death certificate" to my "over-worked" oven few weeks ago .... hee... hee... So, I'll be taking a break from baking until I could find the right size for the built-in oven.
Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteOh no... sorry to hear that your oven is retiring. Buying a new one? I was happy when my previous oven was died... LOL! This means I can be a more fanciful oven!!! LOL!

DeleteSo sorry to read about the death of your oven! But I think shopping for a new one will be really fun! :D This cherry tart looks super delicious! How did you pit the cherries manually?
ReplyDeleteHi Jasline,
DeleteI don't have a cherry pitter. Yes pit manually using the larger end of chopstick, place on the stem-end of the cherry and pushed it through.
Thanks for the tip Karen! Will give it a try when cherries are in season!
DeleteOh gosh Karen, sorry to hear about your oven.
