Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed out, cold)
- 1/2 c jam (blackberry preserves used here, use what matches the fresh fruit you're using)
- 16 oz blackberries (fresh, or any other fresh fruit you'd like, 2 cups of bite size pieces)
- 1/3 c sugar
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp water
Instruction
- Put parchment paper on a baking sheet. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a bowl combine the egg and water, set aside. In another bowl put your blackberries (or other fresh fruit), sugar, flour, vanilla and gently fold together.
- On a floured surface, cutting board, unfold your thawed out sheet of pastry dough. Using a floured rolling pin roll it out into a rectangle (about 12x14")
- Move pastry dough on to your baking sheet with parchment.
- Put jam into a small bowl and microwave for about 10 seconds. Spoon this along the middle of your pastry dough sheet the long way.
- Spoon blackberry mixture over the jam, keeping in the center of your sheet the long way.
- Along each long side cut 3" long slits every inch or so so you can create the lattice work for a strudel.
- Start at the top and fold the slits in, overlapping slightly downward, alternating sides, over the fruit filling.
- Once done brush the egg wash over the top so it will bake golden brown on the top.
- Sprinkle remaining 2 tbsp of sugar on top of the whole thing.
- Bake for 21-24 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
- Allow to cool at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
