VALENTINE'S DAY TREAT!

When I saw this magazine cover...


… I was reminded that I had some left-over puff pastry in the refrigerator that needed to be used.  What a simple idea:  

RECIPE:  Slightly roll out the pastry, cut into squares, cut hearts out of the center of half of the squares, add jam (in this case, blackberry jam) to the center of the non-heart square, brush the rim on the same square with an egg wash (one egg, a bit of water, whisked) so that the pieces stick together, top with the heart square, stretching a bit to match all edges, use a fork to press the two pieces together, brush the top with the egg wash, and bake for about 12-15 minutes in a 425ºF oven.  


This is how much one sheet of puff pastry makes.

Voila!  These Valentine Treats are ready to eat!  Made them yesterday...all gone today.  




Just in case you're wondering, the recipe in "Better Homes & Gardens" uses regular pie pastry - NOT puff pastry as I've done here.  In all events, this is a pretty and simple use for left-over pastry!
