Ingredients

  • 1 sheet of a 17 oz packet of puff pastry defrosted and refrigerated
  • 2 tbsp fruit jam or jelly
  • Approx. 3 cups of fruit sliced
  • Flour for rolling out pastry
  • Egg wash whisked egg beaters or 1 whisked egg

Equipment/Utensils

  • Rolling pin
  • Pairing knife
  • Baking or cookie sheet
  • Parchment paper

Instructions

  • Prep area and rolling pin with flour for rolling out pastry.
  • Lightly roll out pastry to remove ridges.
  • If pastry cracks dampen cracked areas with water and then gently roll to remove the cracks.
  • Make sure your pastry doesn't stick to your floured surface. Add more flour if necessary
  • With a pairing knife, slice grooves 1/2 inch from edge of each side - do not allow the knife to cut through the pastry completely.
  • Lift pastry from your surface and lay out on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • At the cut groove of each edge of the pastry, fold over to create a pastry border.
  • Spread jam over the centre of the pastry, making sure to avoid the pastry border.
  • Lay out your fruit on top of the jam until you have completely covered the jam layer.
  • Brush the pastry borders with egg wash and then place in a preheated oven at 400 for 15 mins.
  • Remove from the oven once the pastry is golden and flaky, and allow to cool before serving.

Notes

I used Pepperidge Farm frozen puff pastry for this recipe.
