Plum Tarts with Honey and Black Pepper Recipe

Plum Tarts with Honey and Black Pepper Recipe

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (one 14-ounce package or half of 17.3-ounce package), thawed according to package directions
  • 1 pound red plums, apricots, or peaches, pitted, cut into 1″/2 wedges
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)
  1. Preheat oven to 425°. Cut pastry into six 4″ squares, place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and prick all over with a fork. Top with plums, leaving a 1/2″ border. Sprinkle with sugar; season with a few grinds of pepper.
  2. Bake tarts, rotating pan halfway through, until edges of pastry are puffed and golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with salt just before serving.
  3. Do ahead: Tarts can be baked 4 hours ahead. Keep at room temperature.
