Puff Pastry Flowjers August 28 2015

I’m always looking for new ways to use the delicious products in our marketplace. While most are delicious eaten straight from the jar/can/box they are even more delicious when used as part of a recipe. My friend Jeremy has been a huge supporter of Julie’s Beet and uses a lot of our products in his cooking. He gave me this recipe for a delicious breakfast pastry or afternoon snack. I’ve named the recipe after him!

I’m sure your crowd will gobble them up just like mine did.

Happy Friday,

Julie

 Puff Pastry Flowjers with Gus & Grey Jam

Ingredients:

2 sheets puff pastry like Pepperidge Farms

½ cup Gus & Grey Jam (I suggest a sweet one but savory might also be delicious)

2 apples, thinly sliced

Flour for dusting

1 Egg

Method:

-Preheat oven to 400°F.

-On a floured surface roll out thawed puff pastry to about ¼ inch thickness. Spread generously with the Gus & Grey Jam of your choice. Line apple slices evenly over the jam. 

-Carefully roll up the puff pastry starting with the short end. Slice into 2 inch thick pieces and place these on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

-Make egg wash by combining a beaten egg with 2 tablespoons water.  Brush the top of the flowjers with the egg wash.

-Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

-Enjoy warm from the oven.
