Fresh Fruit Tarts


3 sheets filo pastry
2 tablespoon butter, melted
2 tsp granulated sugar
3 cups assorted fruit
Edible flowers (optional)

SAUCE:
1 pkg (300g) frozen raspberries, thawed
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch

CREAM FILLING:
3/4 cup whipping cream
2 tsp granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Grease every other cup in 12 cup muffin pan; set aside.

Arrange 1 sheet of filo on work surface, keeping remaining sheets covered with damp towel to prevent drying out. Brush lightly with butter; sprinkle lightly with sugar. Repeat with remaining filo, stacking to form 3 layers. Cut in half lengthwise, then in thirds crosswise to make 6 equal squares. Press gently into 6 prepared muffin cups.

Bake in center of 400oF oven for about 4 minutes or until golden and crisp. Let cool in pan on rack for 5 minutes; transfer to rack and let cool completely. (Can be stored in airtight container for up to 4 days)

SAUCE:
In heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine raspberries, sugar and 1 cup water; cook for about 5 minutes or until tender. Press through fine sieve to remaove seeds. Return raspberry mixture to pan. Stir cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water; stir into berry mixture and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 1 minute or until clear and slightly thickened. Scrape into pitcher to cool; cover with plastic wrap. (Sauce may be refrigerated for up to 3 days.)

CREAM FILLING:
Whip cream with sugar and vanilla.

Spoon 1/4 cup sauce onto each of 6 dessert plates. Centre tart shells on sauce. Spoon in cream filling; top with fruit and garnish with flowers.
