The secret to this simple dessertis frozen puff pastry. It is easyto work with and bakes up into adeliciously flaky pastry.

You’ll find puff pastry in thegrocer’s freezer section, usually

near the frozen fruit and pie shells.

Be sure to thaw it completely

before trying to unfold the sheets

of pastry. You can place the box in

the refrigerator overnight, or leave

it (unopened) on the counter for

about an hour.

We like the combination of

blackberries and orange, but feel

free to substitute any berry. Blue-

berries, raspberries and straw-

berries all would be delicious.

This dessert also can be prepped

ahead of time. Just bake the pastry

squares, then store them covered

at room temperature.
