Ingredients

  • 1 sheet, 9in (23cm) store brought butter puff pastry
  • 2 table spoons apricot jam
  • 4 medium very ripe nectarines *you can use white or yellow

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 420°F (220°C)

  • Bake for ten minutes or until edges are starting to brown
  • Remove baking paper and pie weights

  • Remove tart tin from oven and allow to cool slightly.
  • Destone nectarines and cut into eights, more if you have larger nectarines.
  • Layout nectarines into tart pastry in a circular motion, or whatever pattern you like
  • Put apricot jam into a small bowl and add a small splash of water. Stir to thin and loosen up.
  • Using a pastry brush or spoon, brush the apricot jam all over the nectarines
  • Sprinkle over toasted pine nuts

  • Remove from oven and cool before removing from tin
  • Slice and enjoy! Lovely with a dollop of cream or my nectarine ice cream!

Notes

This recipe uses store brought butter puff pastry for ease but you can make your own if you wish.  
It would also work with other stone fruit such as peaches, just make sure they are nice a ripe or the tart will be sour.
