Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -- -- --

1 2 inch piece vanilla bean -- split lengthwise

2 tablespoons sugar

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1 sheet (1/2 pound) frozen puff pastry -- thawed

1 cup seedless purple grapes -- cut in half

1 cup seedless green grapes -- cut in half

6 tablespoons apricot jam

vanilla ice cream -- optional

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Into a small bowl, scrape seeds from vanilla bean with a knife and stir in sugar and cinnamon.

On a lightly floured surface roll out pastry about 1/8-inch thick and cut out 4 (6 by 5 1/2-inch) rectangles. Arrange pastry on baking sheet

and fold edges on all sides to form a 1/2-inch border, leaving corners

unfolded. Pinch corners and twist to make points. Press points down on

baking sheet. With a dinner fork, gently prick middle of rectangle

several times. Arrange grape halves in rows on pastry, alternating

colors. Sprinkle each pastry with sugar mixture.

20 to

minutes. While tarts are baking, in a small saucepan heat jam over low

heat, stirring, until melted and strain through a sieve into a cup. On

a rack cool tarts for 5 minutes and then brush with jam.

Serve tarts warm with ice cream.
