Best Fridge Clean Out EVER

Sometimes using up leftovers is a bit of a chore. This was not one of those times.

I had a bunch of fruit I needed to use and some frozen puff pastry. I decided to make something resembling pie. I have no pie pans, so I opted for galettes (read: pies with no pans). They were soooooo delicious. Like the delicious-est. I'll give you the ingredients and some vague quantities, but I didn't measure anything and I don't think you need to either. This is pretty hard to screw up. Just take any fruit, some sugar and some puff pastry and you've got the makings of a masterpiece.
