Cherry and Peach Tart

It’s a yummy cherry and peach tart recipe!

When I decided to make this, I couldn’t decide which fruit to put first in the title.  The peach or the cherry.  So, when I finally made my decision, I put the cherry first because I like that fruit more than I like peaches.

Though, don’t get me wrong, I do love peaches, but cherries . . . ❤️ ?

How to make the cherry and peach tart

First thing I do is take a sheet of puff pastry out of the freezer.  I let it sit on the counter for 30 – 40 minutes.

I take out my cherries and peaches and wash them.

Pitting the cherries

I pit the cherries first.  How do you pit your cherries?  I put a bunch on a cutting board, take a wide knife and firmly press down on the sides of the cherries with the side of the knife.  I use my hand as a shield and I also make sure the top of the cherry, where the stem came from – is facing away from me because they will squirt.

Did you know cherry juice can squirt quite a distance?

Well, it can.

Next, I take each cherry in my hands and at the stem hole, I insert my thumbs and pull apart the cherry.  The pit should easily come out at this point.  (And my fingernails should stain easily with cherry juice!)

I then slice up the peaches.

I preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

I line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lay the sheet of puff pastry on it.

Now is the fun part!  I line the sliced peaches up on the puff pastry.  Then I take the cherry halves and sprinkle them on top.  If you enjoy bringing order to this unruly world, as I do, then it’s just one more reason to love this recipe!

Time to stick them in the oven and bake for 18 minutes.

Look how nice and fluffy the pastry got!

I sprinkled some confectioner’s sugar on top of the yummy cherry and peach tart.

On other tarts, I have used cinnamon as well as honey, but not this time.  That’s just to give you ideas for future tarts.

Yummy.

Now, all I have to do is cut a few slices and Christopher and I can eat this delicious tart!

Now to eat a little bite.

Or two!

😉

I hope you enjoyed this recipe!

And as always, may all your dishes be delish!
