Pear Almond Tarts

Ingredients:
1 Package Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry
3 Bartlett pears, ripe (if you live in the NW, support Hood River’s growers and buy Hood River pears)
1 Can almond paste (in the pie filling section of the baking aisle)
Cinnamon
Sliced almonds to garnish

Preheat oven according to directions on puff pastry package. Unfold pastry and cut into six rectangles. Arrange on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
Peel and slice pears.
Open the can of almond paste and spoon about two tablespoons of paste onto each pastry rectangle, spreading evenly.
Arrange slices of pear over the paste.
Sprinkle with cinnamon and slivered almonds, and bake for about twenty minutes, until edges of pastry are golden.
