I'd never had blood oranges until I moved to California, but I've loved making this blood orange tart. Whenever I have a gathering to go to, my friends demand that I bring it. —Pamela Butkowski, Hermosa Beach, California

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, cubed
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 medium blood orange, thinly sliced
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
Vanilla ice cream, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. In an 8-in. cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet, melt butter over medium heat; stir in brown sugar and vanilla until dissolved. Arrange orange slices in a single layer over brown sugar.
On a lightly floured surface, unfold puff pastry. Roll to a 9-in. square; place over oranges, tucking in corners.
Bake until tart is golden brown and filling is heated through, 20-25 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm, with ice cream if desired.
