Plum Tarts with Sweet Basil Honey

1 <span class="mceItemHidden" data-mce-bogus="1"><span></span>Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.</span>

3 Dust a counter with flour and unfold puff pastry on top. Slice into even squares about 3 to 4 inches on all sides (Note: Feel free to make these smaller or larger. If you know how many people you will be serving, cut as many squares as you'll need, as long as they will accommodate the plum slices. Baking instructions are the same, regardless of the size of the squares.)
4 Prick the center of each pastry square a few times with a fork and transfer to prepared sheet plan.
5 Arrange plum slices on pastry squares, about 3 slices per square, leaving 1/2 inch of space on all sides.
6 Bake until pastry is golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.
7 While pastry bakes, combine honey and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a low simmer and simmer until honey is completely dissolved in water (you can also heat this in the microwave in 10 second increments, stirring between each increment). Remove from heat and stir in basil. Set aside for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to come together.
8 When pastry is finished baking, transfer to a cooling rack. Use a pastry brush to brush the surface of each pastry generously with basil honey (discard basil). Sprinkle with sugar.
9 Serve immediately or store at room temperature for up to a day. Enjoy!
