Ingredients

  • 10 pieces 5-inch square puff pastry sheets*, thawed
  • 10 Tablespoons quick mixed berry jam (recipe follows)

Egg Wash:

  • 1 large egg
  • pinch sea salt
  • 2 teaspoon water

Toppings:

  • ½ cup sliced almonds
  • 2 Tablespoon turbinado sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Quick Mixed Berry Jam:

  • 16 oz frozen mixed berries
  • 3 Tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 Tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 Tablespoon water
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together egg, salt, and water to create egg wash. Set aside. In a small bowl, mix together turbinado sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  • Place puff pastry squares on baking sheet. Add a rounded 1 Tbsp of berry jam in the center of each puff pastry square. Take one end of the square and fold over jam to create a triangle.
  • Use a fork to crimp the edges and seal the pastry triangle closed.
  • Brush the tops of the pastry triangle with egg wash. Top with sliced almonds and cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes until puff pastry edges have risen and puff pastry is golden brown in color. Remove from oven and let pastries cool in pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to slightly cool. If desired, top with sifted powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Quick Mixed Berry Jam:

  • In a medium sauce pot, combine frozen berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Set over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together cornstarch and water. Add mixture to sauce pot. Add salt. Stir contents together and bring to boil.
  • Stir frequently to prevent jam from burning along the sides of the pan. Allow to boil for about a minute to allow the cornstarch to cook out. Remove from heat. Transfer to another container and cool to room temperature. Keep chilled until ready to use.

Notes

I use puff pastry that is already cut down to 5-inch squares. You can buy a large sheet of frozen puff pastry and cut it down to your desired size.
