Ok i just made some tonight... but the basic recipe I am going to work with any fruit (even tinned although I used fresh)
I got given a bag of nectarines from my gf tonight and I'm not a big stone fruit eater so i thought I'd make some tarts... I had some leftover puff pastry from some sausage rolls I made on the weekend... Anyway (I can ramble LOL) I found this recipe... but I'm going to tweak it to make danishes with tinned apricot halves
It was DELISH
Quick Nectarine Tarts
Cooking Time
12 minutes
Ingredients (serves 4)
1 sheet frozen ready-rolled puff pastry
1/4 cup light cream cheese spread
1 1/2 tablespoons raw sugar
Pinch of mixed spice
4 nectarines, halved, stones removed, sliced
Method
Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Cut pastry into 4 squares. Place onto prepared tray.
Using a wooden spoon, beat together cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of sugar and mixed spice. Spread over pastry squares. Arrange nectarine slices over top.
Bake for 12 minutes or until golden. Sprinkle with remaining sugar. Serve.

I had two of the little tubs of phili (they are about 40g each) leftover from making cream cheese icing... so I used both them and about 2 tbs of raw sugar. I also sprinkled a bit of sugar before cooking and after (but thats mostly because the nectarines weren't as ripe as they could have been). This recipe is great, the cream cheese is lovely and perfect for danishes... If making this from tinned apricots though I will pat dry the fruit so that it doesn't ruin the pastry. Marc's taking the leftovers for breaky at work tomorrow
