Pastry:
320g Ready-made shortcrust pastry
Filling: Quick Strawberry Jam
200g strawberries, chopped
200g Siucra Sure-Set Jam sugar
Icing:
100g Siucra Icing Sugar
3 teaspoons cold water
Sugar strands for decorating
Assembly:
1 egg whisked for assembly & a pastry brush
Baking tray lined with baking parchment paper
Method:
For the strawberry jam, put the strawberries into a small pot and mash with a potato masher to break up the fruit. Heat gently for a minute or two.
Add the sugar and stir to dissolve. Bring to the boil and boil for about 10 minutes stirring frequently. Allow to cool before using, then store in a sterilised jam jar and place it in the fridge.
Roll out the pastry into a large rectangle about 25cm x 35cm on a floured surface. Cut into 16 equal size rectangles approx. 6 x 9 cm.
Place a tablespoon full of jam in the centre of half the rectangles and brush around the edges with some beaten egg.
Place another rectangle of pastry on top and seal the edges with a fork. Prick a few holes in the top with a fork.
Place on a baking tray lined with baking parchment paper and bake for 18-22 minutes in the oven until golden.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool before applying the icing.
To make the icing, mix the icing sugar with cold water until it is a spreadable consistency.
Put a spoonful of icing on each pop tart. Spread it out with a spoon and sprinkle some sugar strands to decorate.
