Raspberry Pastry Pockets Recipes

POCKET PASTRIES WITH RASPBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Spread one package of pie crusts out flat and cut out ten 3-inch squares. (If you're short a square or two, roll out the scraps and cut out more squares.) Spread each square with a healthy blob of White Chocolate Pistachio Butter. Using a spoon, make a divot in the center of the pistachio butter, then fill each divot with about a teaspoon of raspberry jam. Beat the egg with a splash of water and brush the edges of the crusts with egg wash.
• Spread out the second package of pie crusts and cut out another ten 3-inch squares. Place these squares on top of the first and crimp the edges with a fork (seal them well!).
• Poke the tops of the pocket pastries a few times with a fork and bake until slightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool.
• Press the remaining 1/4 cup jam through a strainer to remove the seeds. Gradually whisk the confectioners' sugar into the strained jam until you reach the desired consistency.
• Spread the glaze on the cooled tarts, top with sprinkles and enjoy!
• In a food processor, combine the pistachios, white chocolate chips, granulated sugar, salt, almond extract and vanilla. Process until very creamy and spreadable, stopping occasionally to scrape the sides of the bowl, about 10 minutes.

FRESH RASPBERRY TURNOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Stir one of the raspberry packages together with the sugar and 2 tablespoons apple juice in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Reserve the second container of raspberries.
• Cook the raspberries for about 5 minutes until the sugar is dissolved into the juice, the raspberries start to soften, and the juice comes to a simmer.
• Whisk the remaining tablespoon of apple juice with the cornstarch and add to the simmering raspberries. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, then stir in the remaining fresh raspberries.
• Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 4 squares.
• Brush the edges of each square with the egg wash and spoon the raspberry filling into the center of each square.
• Lift one corner of each square and carefully fold diagonally to make triangle-shaped puff pastry packets, pressing gently to seal the pastry edges.
• Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheets. Brush egg wash on each turnover and sprinkle with raw sugar, if desired.
• Bake for about 20 minutes, until the pastries are puffed and golden brown. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before serving.

RASPBERRY HAND PIES WITH CINNAMON-ORANGE GLAZE

Steps:

• To prepare the dough: In a medium mixing bowl, combine both flours and the salt, then whisk to blend. Slice one stick of butter down the center lengthwise, then rotate the butter a quarter turn and slice it down the center lengthwise again, so you have quartered the butter. Slice across the butter to make even cubes. Repeat with the remaining stick of butter. Toss about half of the cubed butter into the bowl.
• Working quickly, squish each piece of butter between your fingers under the flour so it turns into a flat, irregularly shaped disc. Continue with remaining cubes, then add the rest and repeat. Grab handfuls of buttery flour in your palms and press to break up the butter just a bit more. Drizzle 4 tablespoons ice water over the mixture and stir to combine. Repeat with an additional 2 tablespoons ice water, stirring to combine, and again with another 2 tablespoons. Mix with a spoon until it starts coming together into a workable dough. The mixture should be moist enough that you can squeeze it between your palms and it will stick together; if it won't, try adding another two tablespoons of water or more, just until the mixture sticks together. Divide the mixture into two equally sized halves.
• Place two square pieces of plastic wrap nearby, then shape each pie dough into a round disc about 5" in diameter and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 3 days (this is necessary because cold butter is the key to a flaky crust!).
• To prepare the filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the maple syrup, starch, vanilla extract, orange zest and cinnamon. Whisk until there are no clumps of starch remaining. Add the raspberries and gently toss with a spoon to coat the berries in a light, even layer. Place the bowl in the refrigerator to chill for now.
• To prepare the hand pies: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll half of the chilled pie dough into a circle about 12-inches across and between 1/8" to 1/4" thick. Use the top of a drinking glass 3 1/2" in diameter (a working glass is perfect) to cut 12 circles. Re-roll the scraps if necessary. Carefully transfer each round to your prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pie dough.
• Brush half of the rounds with egg wash, then top each of those rounds with a heaping tablespoon of raspberry filling (about 7 raspberries per hand pie). Place another round on top of each raspberry-covered round. With a fork, gently press down on the outer 1/4" of the rounds to seal the hand pies, working your way around until they are completely sealed. Gently poke a few holes on the top of each hand pie with the tines of your fork, then brush egg wash on top of each hand pie. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the hand pies are deeply golden brown. Transfer the baking sheet to a cooling rack and let the hand pies cool for at least 30 minutes before glazing.
• To prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, orange juice, maple syrup, orange zest, cinnamon and salt. Whisk until the mixture is well blended and completely smooth. It should be thick but pourable (if it's too thick to drizzle, mix in a bit more orange juice). Use a spoon to drizzle a striped pattern back and forth over the cooled hand pies. Wait for 5 to 10 minutes for the glaze to set and then serve! Leftover hand pies are best stored covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days.

RASPBERRY PASTRY POCKETS

Steps:

• Thaw the puff pastry and roll the sheet out on a lightly floured surface to make it a thinner and get to approximately a 12-by-18 inch rectangle.
• Chill, covered with plastic wrap to let rest.
• With a mixer, blend the cream cheese, egg, Splenda, vanilla extract and lemon rind.
• Make an egg wash by whisking together the remainin egg and water in a small bowl.
• Cut the puff pastry into 3-inch squares (you should have 24 squares).
• Lay a square of pastry on a work surface and paint the edge with egg wash. (I found it easier to just "build" them on the baking pan rather than trying to move them after assembly.).
• In the center of the pastry, place 1 tablespoon of cheese filling and 3 raspberries. Lightly press the berries into the cheese mixture.
• Paint the edge of a second square of pastry with egg wash, place it on top of the filling and carefully press the edges together to seal them well. (I used a pie edge crimping tool or whatever than roll-y thingy is called.).
• Place pockets 1-inch apart on a parchment paper lined sheet pan and keep chilled. Repeat with the remaining pastry.
• When they're all done, brush the top surface with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake in a pre heated at 375 degree F oven until golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.

SHEET PAN STUFFED PASTRY POCKETS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to 9x12-inch (23x30-cm) rectangles. Set one pastry sheet aside and fold the other in half lengthwise, then in half crosswise twice, to form creases for 8 pockets. Unfold the pastry sheet on the prepared baking sheet.
• Make the Strawberries 'n' Cream filling: In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla, and mix until smooth.
• Make the Very Berry filling: In a small bowl, mash the raspberries, then add the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix with a fork.
• Spoon the berry mixture over the center of 2 of the 8 rectangles.
• Use a spatula to spread the chocolate hazelnut spread over the center of 2 more rectangles, then top with the banana slices.
• Use a spatula to spread the cream cheese mixture in the center of 2 more rectangles, then top with the strawberries.
• Place apples slices in the center of the remaining 2 rectangles, then sprinkle with the brown sugar and cinnamon.
• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Brush the egg wash over the pastry around the edges and between each filling, then top with the remaining puff pastry sheet. Use your fingers to press the pastry down around each filling. Once tightly pressed, use a pizza cutter or knife to cut out each pocket.
• Seal the outside edges with a fork. Poke the top of each pocket with a fork 3-4 times to ventilate. Brush the tops with egg wash.
• Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Make the glaze: In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Stir until smooth and thick.
• Remove the pockets from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Decorate with the glaze, then serve immediately, or wrap in wax paper and freeze for up to a week. Reheat in the toaster oven.
• Enjoy!
