Because of the problems I had with this recipe due to conversions from metric to US and also ingredient equivalents I am not going to rate it at this point. Problem 1: I think that the puff pastry sheet may be a different size that the poster used -- I used Peppridge Farm frozen and there is no way that after putting in the pan (8-inch square) and putting on the fruit on it could it fold over the fruit. I also never used puff pastry before which may have added to the problem. Problem 2: I wasn't sure of the equivalent to sweet biscut crumbs so I used biscotti crumbs (I have a feeling they may not be equivalent). Problem 3: sugar equivalents -- there didn't seem to be enough sugar to sweeten the fruit. So how I made this desert was putting the pastry in the 8-inch pan, covered it with the crumbs and put the fruit over it, sprinkled with one tablespoon sugar, baked for 30 minutes at 400- degrees. Since I knew I didn't make the desert as directed I skipped the jelly part at the end. Desert was okay but basically it was barely sweetened fruit over a crust. I think it would have been better and we would have enjoyed it more if I was familiar with how puff pastry worked and the equivalents/subsitutions to US.

I live in a tiny flat in the center of Milan with my sweet dachshund dog named Penelope (Penny). I'm a doctor specializing in family medicine, though everybody tends to think I'm the nurse or the assistant, or perhaps even a student since I tend to look a lot younger than I am....everybody tells me I'm going to appreciate it, but for now I still find it a little annoying!!
I've always loved cooking, when I was a child I wanted to be a patisserie cook (not sure the word is correct...), and I still can't understand how I got to be a doctor instead...anyway I still enjoy cooking at any time, and cooking for friends and family (Penelope included) is my weird way to show them my love (;P)
