--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      sheets        frozen puff pastry (17 1/4-ounce -- thawed
                        -- package)
   2      pounds        ripe nectarines -- peeled and diced
   1      cup           fresh blueberries
     3/4  cup           dried blueberries
     1/2  cup           hazelnuts -- toasted chopped
     1/3  cup           firmly packed light brown sugar
                        **Cinnamon syrup (one recipe)
   1 1/2  cups          water
     2/3  cup           sugar
   2      tablespoons   unsalted butter
   2      tablespoons   maple syrup
   1      teaspoon      ground cinnamon
                        **To Serve:
                        Vanilla ice cream -- or
                        frozen yogurt

Recipe: Preheat the oven to 400F. Lightly butter two 9x13-inch baking dishes.

On a lightly floured board, roll out the puff pastry to form two 12x14-inch
rectangles. Spread one pastry with half each of the nectarines, both kinds
of berries and nuts. Sprinkle with 2 1/2 tablespoons of the sugar. Starting
on the longer side, roll the pastry up like a jellyroll and seal the edges
with a little water. Cut into 2-inch slices. Repeat with the other pastry.

Place the slices, cut surface down, in the baking dishes, being careful not
to fit them in tightly. Pour about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the Cinnamon Syrup
over the dumplings in each dish.

Bake 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream and additional Cinnamon
Syrup, if desired. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Cinnamon Syrup: In a heavy saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups water, 2/3 cup
sugar, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons maple syrup and 1
teaspoon ground cinnamon and bring to a boil over medium-high heat,
stirring until the sugar dissolves. Lower heat and simmer 8 to 10 minutes
or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat. Serve warm.
