Easy Summer Nectarine Tart

Ingredients

1 sheet frozen puff pastry (from a 17.3-ounce package), thawed according to package

1/4 cup sugar, plus 2 teaspoons for sprinkling

3/4 tablespoon flour

pinch of salt

3 ripe nectarines, halved, pitted, and sliced 1/4 in thick

1 tablespoon seedless raspberry jam or jelly, warmed until liquefied in the microwave (10-20 seconds)

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Unfold the thawed pastry puff and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.  With a sharp paring knife, lightly score dough to for a 1-inch border (do not cut all the way through).  Using a fork, prick the dough every 1/2 inch within the border.  Sprinkle the border with the 2 teaspoons of sugar.  Refrigerate about 10 minutes to firm.

Bake the chilled dough 10-15 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.  Meanwhile, mix the flour with the 1/4 cup of sugar and dash of salt.  Sprinkle it over the sliced nectarines and gently toss until combined.

With a fork, press the down the dough inside the border to make level; arrange the nectarines in rows.  Loosely tent foil over the top and return to the oven for 10 minutes.  Remove from oven and brush the nectarines with the warm jam.  Let cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
