Instructions: The next morning, preheat the oven to 400-F degrees. Roll or press each puff pastry shell into a circle roughly 6 inches across, leaving a little ridge around the outside.

Place the shells on an ungreased baking sheet, and top each with just enough fruit to cover the top, probably a scant 3/4 cup or so. This will of course vary with the
fruit you choose - and your choices are legion. This time of year, you might want to visit the farmers market - or if youre lucky, your own yard - for something wonderful and fresh and right off the tree!

Anyway, sprinkle a teaspoonful of sugar on the fruit, then dust with cinnamon

(or nutmeg, or cardamon, or whatever you like, to bring out the flavor). Slide into the oven, and bake for about 25 minutes while youre making the coffee, frying the bacon, or putting together whatever you like for breakfast.

When the tarts are golden brown, spread a couple of teaspoonfuls of jelly or jam over the top of each, and serve right away. Offer sour cream to offset some of the
sweetness if you like.
