Simple puffed pastry dough from the freezer makes this an easy so tasty desert.
My dear friend gave me fresh pears but any fruit works well in this recipe. I made a delicious fresh raspberry before and the fruit cooked so bright in color.
Ingredients:
Boxed puffed pastry dough thawed
Fresh fruit of choice pictured I used three peeled halved and sliced pear
Tbl jam (I used orange marmalade)
Lemon zest 1 heap Tbs
1 cup ricotta
1 egg
Two Tbs sugar ( add more to sweet taste)
tsp ground cardamon
Pinch salt
Tsp vanilla
Egg white- for egg wash
Mix cheese, egg , cardamom, zest, vanilla and salt in small bowl. Set aside
Take peeled and moon shaped sliced pear mix with marmalade in separate bowl. Set aside
Roll out dough on floured surface to just smooth edges and creases. Spread 1/2 cheese mixture down center of pastry. Assemble half fruit and gently fold together overlapping top.
Carefully slice diagonal top for venting. Crimp ends with fork to seal cheese in.
Assemble second roll. Assemble on baking sheet with parchment paper.
Egg wash tops and lightly sprinkle w sugar.
Preheated 400 degree oven. Bake 15 min- turn even to 375 bake addition 10 min or until golden brown.
Serve warm w vanilla ice-cream or whipped cream.

I was raised on a large farm in a small community of Long Shop, Virginia. Just a stones throw from Blacksburg, Va and a short drive to the WV boarder. I grew up appreciating Appalachia cooking with low budgets and home grown veggies. What honestly tastes better than a warm tomato out of the garden sliced fat with salt and pepper? Maybe a bowl of good brown pinto beans and cornbread. Or even better grilled trout fresh caught from the creek!
My childhood was a dream... and what has made my passion for food- sharing good meals with good friends and loved ones.
My food always has a story and always in sizes to share.
I now have begun a new adventure with my love Jason, and we created the Bellman and Concierge LLC and reopened the beautiful Oaks Victorian Inn. A childhood home I knew well growing up and now saving for many to enjoy as a Boutique Bed and Breakfast. Cooking for guests and sharing traditions. Come visit us at
