Cherry Tartlets

Ahhh cherries, how I love thee.  Except having to pit each and every one of you.  But then when it comes to eating I'm back to loving you.  This was super easy to put together...after the pitting process.

Cherry Tartlets

Serves 4

Ingredients:
1 cup pitted cherries, halved (frozen cherries work too)
1/4 cup sugar (more or less depending on how sweet they are)
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
vanilla ice cream

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Cut sheet of puff pastry into fours.  Put the puff pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or the sort.  Sprinkle a little bit of sugar on top of the puff pastry.

In a bowl combine cherries, sugar and lemon juice.  Spoon about a 1/4 of a cup of the cherries in the middle of each puff pastry.  Bring the corners together over the cherries and press together.  (Mine separated because I had too many cherries...as if that is possible).

Bake for about 20 minutes or until the tops have browned.

Serve with a scoop of ice cream.
