- 2 sheets puff pastry thawed
- 6 oz No-sugar-added strawberry preserves or preferred flavor
- 1 Beaten egg white for brushing
- Powdered sugar or substitute, for dusting
Preheat the oven to 400F. Roll out both puff pastry sheets on parchment paper to fit your baking sheet (I used an 11x17 pan). Score each sheet into a Christmas tree shape.
If there's not enough dough in the corner, you can use and flip the scraps to complete the tree shape (refer to image). Make two identical trees with the sheets by cutting one and placing it over the other to trace the exact size.
Fill the bottom tree with jam, spreading it in a single layer, leaving space around the edges. Place the other tree on top. (Cut leftover dough with cookie cutters to make Christmas shapes to bake alongside the tree. You can also make a star and tree trunk like I did). Cut strips down each side and twist the flaps to create the branches.
Brush the dough with beaten egg white. Bake the Christmas tree and any other loose shapes for 25-30 minutes or until thoroughly baked and golden brown. Once cool, dust with powdered sugar or substitute or make a glaze to drizzle over the top.
