Puff pastry may be used instead of short dough to make fruit tarts. Fruit strips are fruit tarts made in the shape of long strips about 4 to 5 inches (10 to 12 cm) wide.
The procedure for assembling these desserts is the same as that for un-baked fruit tarts, except baked puff pastry should be assembled only at the last minute because the pastry quickly becomes soggy.
The shells can be made in any shape, but squares and rectangles are easiest, as in this procedure.
