Pastry Ingredients
  • 1 box 14–16 oz box frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed but still cold Ensure the pastry sheets are cold for easier handling.
  • 1 cup thick fruit jam or preserves Varieties can include strawberry, raspberry, or apricot.
  • 1 large egg, beaten well For sealing and egg wash.

  3. Place 1 tablespoon of jam on 6 rectangles, leaving a border around the edges.
  4. Brush the edges with the beaten egg.
  5. Place the remaining rectangles on top of the jam-covered ones and seal the edges.
  6. Brush the tops with the beaten egg and cut slits for steam to escape.
Baking

  2. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Store leftover puff pastry pockets in an airtight container at room temperature for best quality within 2 days. Refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to regain crispiness. These pockets are best served warm and can be dusted with powdered sugar or served with whipped cream or ice cream.
