Ingredients:
2 sheets (450 g) frozen butter puff pastry, thawed and refrigerated
4 Pretli's Peaches or Nectarines

1 tbsp (15 mL) fresh lemon juice

Instructions:
1. Unroll puff pastry sheets, leaving pastry on parchment paper. Lightly fl our and roll each sheet to 11-inch (28 cm) square. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares. Cut corners off pastry to make rough rounds. Using parchment paper, transfer pastry to large baking sheet.
