Pear Passion Tartlets

These individually served pear tarts are ideal for a dinner party and oh-so-easy to prepare. Each pear and sheet of puff pastry makes four tartlets.

Ingredients

1 sheet butter puff pastry, thawed
1 large, well-ripened pear
4 tablespoons Outback Pride Desert Passion syrup

Step One
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Cut the pear vertically into half-centimetre slices. Place the four largest slices in the four quarters of the sheet of puff pastry.

Step Two

Lay baking paper on a large baking tray. Cut the pastry into quarters and carefully place each quarter - with its pear slice - on the sheet of baking paper. Make sure they aren't touching. Drizzle each tartlet with 1 tablespoon Outback Pride Desert Passion syrup.

Step Three
Place in the moderate oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the pastry around the pear slice is golden and puffy. You may sprinkle with caster or icing sugar if you like, and serve with ice cream or cream.
