Preparation

Step 1

On lightly floured work surface, unroll each sheet of pastry, cut each into 16 square. Press 1 square into bottom and up sides of each of 32 mini muffin tin wells (can be done in batches). Spoon 1 heaping two white chocolate chips into each well. Brush edges of pastry with egg. Bake in 375F oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely.

Meahwile, in large bowl, combine cherries, sugar and vinegar. Let stand until cherry mixture is syrupy, about 20 minutes. Strain through fine mesh sieve into large saucepan; reserve cherries. Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened (syrup will continue to thick as it cools). Spoon 1 tbsp cherries into each tart shell. Drizzle with syrup; garnish with mint.
