Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 lb fresh damsons pitted
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 sheet puff pastry

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a large ovenproof skillet, melt sugar and butter over medium heat. Stir continuously until sugar has dissolved and the mixture has turned a caramel color.
  • Arrange the damsons, cut side up, in a single layer in the skillet on top of the caramel mixture. Sprinkle with vanilla extract.
  • Roll the puff pastry sheet out to fit the diameter of the skillet and place it over the damsons. Tuck the edges of the pastry into the skillet.
  • Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
  • Place a large plate over the skillet and carefully invert the tarte tatin onto the plate, so that the caramel and fruit are on top.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of crème anglaise.
