Cranberry Cream Cheese Palmiers
- My cranberry sauce
- 2 12 ounce bags of fresh cranberries, sorted and rinsed
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon fresh orange zest
- Juice of one orange
- 1 medium apple peeled, cored and finely diced
- 1 cup water
- For the palmiers
- 1 sheet puff pastry from a 17.3 ounce package
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup of the cranberry sauce, large berries smashed up a little
- 1 egg beaten with 2 tablespoons water
- Throw everything in a medium sauce pan, bring up to the boil and then simmer for about 10 minutes until the sauce thickens and berries break up a little. Cool.
- On your work surface evenly sprinkle the sugar over about the size of your sheet of pastry. Lay the pastry over and roll it out to about 10 x 12 inches.
- Spread the cream cheese evenly over the pastry and then spread the cranberry sauce over the cream cheese.
- With the short side of the rectangle closest to you, fold the pastry up to the middle of the sheet. Do the same with the top half.
- Loosely cover and refrigerate the roll for at least 30 minutes to firm it up.
- When ready to bake, trim the ends of the roll and then cut the roll into 10 even pieces. Place the pieces cut side down on a parchment lined baking sheet and brush a little egg wash on each piece.
- Bake in a pre heated 425F oven for 12 to 15 minutes until golden. Serve warm or at room temperature.
