Apricot Roll (Waterbul)
- 0.5 (1 1/4 lb) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 3/4 cup apricot jam
- 1 1/2 cups ground almonds
- 1 egg yolk, beaten
- Glaze
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 orange, zest of, 1-inch x2-inch strip
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 6 tablespoons sherry wine
- To make pastry and filling: Preheat oven to 475u0b0F. On a lightly floured board, roll out pastry to a 14x11-inch rectangle.
- In a small bowl, combine jam and almonds; spread over pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch strip on 1 long side uncovered. Brush uncovered pastry strip with egg yolk.
- Beginning with the jam-covered long side, roll up jelly-roll fashion. Pinch edge of roll to seal; press ends together to seal. With seam-side down, score top of rolled pastry at 1/4 to 1/2-inch intervals.
- Rinse a large baking sheet in cold water; place roll on wet baking sheet. Bake in center of oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
- To make glaze: In a medium saucepan, combine cornstarch and sugar. Gradually stir in orange juice. Add orange peel, butter and sherry. Place over medium heat. Stirring occasionally, bring to a boil. Continue stirring until thickened. Remove orange peel. Brush hot glaze over baked apricot roll; serve warm.
