Preparation

Step 1

Puff pastry makes this free-form cherry tart quick and easy!

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

If using frozen cherries, make sure to thaw and drain well before using.

Combine cherries, sugar and cornstarch. Let stand for 10 minutes.

Leaving a 2-inch border, prick puff pastry with a fork and then using a slotted spoon, add cherry mixture to centre of pastry. (You don’t want to add any excess fruit juices or the galette will be soggy and soupy.) Fold over edges to create a 2-inch crust. Brush pastry crust with egg wash and then sprinkle with Demerara sugar.
