Fruit Recipes
1 sheet (1/2 pkg) frozen puff pastry, thawed
1/4 cup sugar
4 tbsp butter
4 cups fresh strawberries, halved
4 tbsp Grand Marnier
Whipped cream
Fresh mint sprigs for garnish

Preheat oven to 425. Place puff pastry on a cookie sheet. Cut a circle out of the pastry center and place to the side on same cookie sheet. Sprinkle 1 tbsp of sugar over puff pastry. Bake pastry until it rises and sugar is caramelized.

In a small saute pan, place butter, remaining sugar, and strawberries over medium heat. When strawberries begin to soften, slowly add Grand Marnier. (Note: Grand Marnier is flammable.)

Remove puff pastry from oven and place on a plate. Pour strawberries over pastry and place a dollop of whipped cream over center. Place circle of puff pastry on top of whipped cream. Serve garnished with sprig of mint. Serves 4
