1.  Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

3.  Roll the puff pastry to 1/8 inch thickness and cut it into rectangular sheets approximately 6 inches long x 4 inches wide.

5.  Sprinkle the border with sugar.

6.  Place the pan with the tarts in the oven on the bottom rack and bake for 25 - 30 minutes until the dough is a deep, golden brown and the fruit is thoroughly cooked.

7.  When the have finished cooking, remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool for 15 - 20 minutes.

8.  Just before serving, sprinkle the tarts with a light dusting of powdered sugar.
