• Roll out dough on a
lightly floured board into an 18" x 12" rectangle. Transfer to a large
baking sheet, prick with a fork and chill for 30 minutes.
• Preheat barbecue and brush grids generously with vegetable oil. Reduce
heat to MEDIUM, place nectarines cut side down and grill two to three
minutes, then turn and grill another two to three minutes. Remove from heat,
cool slightly, then slice into thin wedges.
• Place the baking sheet with the chilled puff pastry on the barbecue and
cook for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown. Cool and cut lengthwise into
thirds.
• Whip the cream in a chilled bowl until it starts to stiffen. Add sugar
and vanilla, and beat until it holds stiff peaks.
• Assemble as follows: Brush the first piece of puff pastry with half the
peach preserves, and top with half the grilled nectarines. Pipe 1/3 of the
whipped cream over the nectarines. Top with second strip of pastry. Brush
with peach preserves and top with half the raspberries. Pipe 1/3 more
whipped cream and arrange the third strip of pastry on top. Carefully cut
into eight pieces. Garnish each napoleon with a dollop of whipped cream, a
slice of nectarine, and 2 raspberries. Dust with confectioner’s sugar. Chill
for two hours.
