Pies, tarts, cranberries, pecans… People, the Holidays are near! EEEEK! This is the life!

Do you know just how much I love this time of year? This much! I get to do a whole lot of my favorite thing, which is bake, and my next favorite thing, eat.

Which reminds me, one of my life’s personal pleasures is getting to share my love for baking and eating with you. And I also love it when I get the chance to introduce you to my few simple baking shortcuts, if you will.

When preparing for those big Holiday meals, I try to create a menu that is somewhat stress-free, but also delicious and beautiful. I want to enjoy the day just like everyone else – being in the kitchen the entire time is not my definition of jolly good ol’ time, ya know!? I’ll slave over the turkey and that one signature side dish, but everything else is fair game.

If you open up my freezer at any given time you will always find a sleeve, or 10, of Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets. Remember those Mustard Batons?! SO GOOD! I also have a stash of Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Shells – you never know when you’re going to need ‘em!

For this particular Cranberry Upside-Down Puff Pastry Tart I simply used Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets to create a delicious, flaky crust, paired with my easy homemade cranberry sauce and a delicious, buttery, brown sugar mixture.

The tart was divided into eight pieces and eaten within 12 minutes. It took me about 30 minutes to prepare it and half the time to inhale it. There was coffee, wine, a few dishes and lots of whipped cream. SO GOOD! My father had more than the rest of us; in fact he said he would like one whole tart all for himself. He also volunteered to buy the needed ingredients and have me make it again for Christmas Day. I don’t blame the guy – we’re talking about a flaky, sweet, and very festive dessert that is also quick, easy and beautiful!

    I love the ease of using the puff pastry sheets instead of traditional pastry. What a great idea!

  2. Hooray for cranberries (I’m hoarding several bags this year!). Until I’m motivated enough to make my own puff pastry dough, Pepperidge Farm’s is the nest best solution. This tart is breathtaking!!

  3. Am I missing something? I don’t see the recipe anywhere. This looks delish, Can you please provide? Thanks!
