Puff pastry

Gooey and bubbly berry puff pastry

I LOVE berries. And what's better than berries with something sweet for breakfast? Nothing! :) This recipe is a jumble of all the berries I had in my fridge and the result is a quick and de-li-ciously flaky (and vegan!) treat.

Ingredients:
1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed and rolled out (Try Pepperidge farm. It has no animal ingredients!)
Grand Marnier, 1 teaspoon
1.5 cups of mixed berries, sliced
Blackberry jam, 1 tablespoon (optional)

Granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons  

Powdered sugar,  as needed for dusting (Try Florida Crystals, it's vegan) 

Directions:

1. Place 3/4 of the sliced berries (I used strawberries and raspberries) and jam (I used blackberry jam) in a small saucepan on medium heat. Add the granulated sugar and grand marnier. You'll use the rest of the berries later on. 

<<Side note: If you have it, grate a teaspoon of orange zest into the berry mixture for an added depth of flavor. I didn't have any oranges, so I left it out>>. 

2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Let the berry mixture simmer for 5 minutes. Once the berries have broken down and released their juices, turn off the heat and add the rest of the fresh berries to the mixture (to give it some added texture).

 

3. Fill the rolled out puff pastry with the berry mixture in whatever shape you like. Seal the edges of the puff pastry by pressing down with a fork. Bake for 15 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and cooked through.

4. Dust with powdered sugar and you're ready to eat!
