Cherry-Almond Tart
- 1 (4 by 4-inch) square frozen store-bought puff pastry, preferably all-butter (such as Dufour brand), defrosted
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened dried cherries
- 3 teaspoons Mulled Wine Syrup (page 6), made with red wine
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons low-fat Greek-style yogurt, whisked smooth
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured countertop, roll out the puff pastry to about 6 inches square.
- Pierce the dough every 1/2-inch with a fork; this helps the pastry rise more evenly.
- Mound the cherries in the center of the dough and drizzle 2 teaspoons of the red wine syrup over them (but not the pastry).
- Lightly moisten the edges of the dough with water, pull it up, and fold it over to the edges of the cherries, forming pleats so that it cradles the fruit.
- Scatter the almonds on top.
- Transfer the tart to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the pastry has puffed and turned golden brown.
- Remove it from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
- Transfer to a dessert plate, drizzle with the remaining 1 teaspoon of red wine syrup, spoon on a dollop of yogurt, and eat.
