A Cloud of Pears and Cherries Upon Which I Rest my Weary Fork

I don't generally get into making desserts-- all that tedious measuring and sifting, etc... (and there was an unfortunate cookie incident recently from which I am slowly recovering...) But this was more like wrapping a present, which I do enjoy - and it was a nice early reminder of the holiday season to come. In spite of all the doom and gloom foretold for the retail sector, good things most certainly come in small (edible) packages- as evidenced above. Full of bosc pears, dried cherries and a hint of amaretto, these tiny puff pastry pillows took the proverbial cake.
