Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sheets of puff pastry
- 2 cups blackberries
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¾ cup sugar
- 8 ounces goat cheese
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 4 teaspoons raw sugar
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, minced
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Begin by making the blackberry jam: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine blackberries, water, lemon juice, and sugar. Cook for about 20-30 minutes until thickened, stirring regularly. Smash the berries with a fork and allow the mixture to cool.
- Thaw the puff pastry sheets for about 20-25 minutes until pliable. Roll each sheet into a rectangle on a floured surface.
- Spread half of the cooled blackberry jam over one sheet and sprinkle half of the crumbled goat cheese on top.
- Cut the dough into strips (12 per sheet), fold each strip in half lengthwise, and twist gently.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place twisted pastries on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with an egg wash made from whisked egg, and sprinkle with raw sugar mix.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.
