Pear and Quince Tarts Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
• 2 medium-sized pears, peeled and diced
• 1 medium-sized quince, peeled and diced
• 1/3 cup of sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
• 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg powder
• 1/8 teaspoon of salt
• 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Roll out the puff pastry sheet into a large rectangle and cut out 4 circles using a cookie cutter or a sharp knife. Place the circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. In a medium-sized saucepan, place the diced pears, quince, sugar, cinnamon powder, nutmeg powder, salt, and butter. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is tender and caramelized.
4. Divide the caramelized fruit evenly among the puff pastry circles, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Verdict:

These pear and quince tarts are the perfect combination of sweet and tangy. The puff pastry adds a delicate crunch to the soft fruit filling. They make a great dessert or a sweet snack.

Serving suggestions:

Serve these tarts warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert. They also make a great addition to a brunch or tea party spread.
