Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sheets puff pastry
- 2 cups blackberries
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¾ cup sugar
- 8 ounces goat cheese
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 4 teaspoons raw sugar
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, minced

Instructions
- Prepare the blackberry jam by combining blackberries, water, lemon juice, and sugar in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 20-30 minutes until thickened; smash berries gently as they cook. Cool to room temperature.
- Thaw puff pastry sheets for 20-25 minutes at room temperature, then roll each into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
- Spread half of the goat cheese on one half of each pastry sheet, then layer half of the cooled blackberry jam over the cheese.
- Cut each pastry into 12 strips using a sharp knife. Fold each strip in half and gently twist to form spirals.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place twists on the sheet, brush with beaten egg, and sprinkle with raw sugar mixed with thyme. Bake for 16-18 minutes until golden brown.
