How I Made My 3-Minute Mango Puree

You can easily make your own quick homemade jam by heating up your favorite fresh or frozen fruit in a small pot with a bit of sugar and a splash of lemon juice for just a couple of minutes! For example, I made a super fast 3-minute mango puree by simmering diced frozen mango on my stovetop on high heat until it broke down into a thick, luscious paste. It is a completely effortless way to upgrade your flaky pastry pockets with a massive burst of real fruit flavor! 😉

Endless Fruit and Jam Combinations

There are completely zero rules for your kitchen setup. It is a fantastic way to clear out any half-empty jars inside your fridge! Here are some ideas :)⬇️

Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• 1 puff pastry sheet
• any type of jam you like (amount based on how big you want the pockets to be)
• fresh fruit to go with the jam
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp water

Method

 

1. Slice the Pastry: Unroll your cold puff pastry sheet onto a counter. Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to carefully cut the pastry into even squares, making sure you end up with an even total number of pieces.
Stellka’s Tip: If your puff pastry feels dry or starts cracking, simply rub a few drops of water over the cracks to seal them. This quickly softens the dough and keeps your delicious jam from leaking out inside the oven! 😉
2. Fill the Pockets: Place 1 tablespoon of jam onto half of the squares. Top each spoonful with a few pieces of chopped fresh fruit to go with the jam.
3. Seal the Edges: Gently place the empty pastry squares directly on top of the filled ones. Take a standard kitchen fork and press down along the outer edges to seal the pockets shut. With a sharp knife, make two lines on top of the pockets.
4. Apply the Egg Wash: Whisk your egg and 1 tablespoon of water together in a bowl. Gently brush this mixture over the tops of your closed pockets.
5. Bake and Enjoy: Preheat your oven according to your puff pastry package instructions (I did – 200° with fan or 220° without) . Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown, and enjoy! 😉
