STRAWBERRY AMARETTO PASTRIES
I got this recipe from Pampered Chef, and have used it to do a cooking show. Makes lovely, dainty, and delectable petite pastries which are embellished with quick "candied" orange zest. It's been awhile since I made these, so I don't remember how long it took to assemble, so the times might be off. If you come up with a different time, please let me know so I can update the times. **Cook's Tip: Sliced peaches or nectarines can be substituted for the strawberries, if desired.
