Mixed-Berry Jalousie, Rating 9/10, Costs $8 to Make at Home

0 comments

So this is a great tart recipe to make at home because it tastes extravagant and has a home-made, comforting food touch. It doesn't require too much labor. I know I'll be twice as fast the next time I make it. And isn't that the case with most recipes after trying them once? This dish is perfect for a family of four and you can bet they'll ask you to make this again. My family devoured it in equal sizes, (splitting it into fourths), and it provided for a great, enjoyable, weekend moment.  The recipe can be found at: http://www.finecooking.com/recipe/mixed-berry-jalousie
Start of by making the compote aspect of the pastry first. It tastes delicious with the lemon zest so it's worth including it. I used frozen packaged puff pastry (the Pepperidge Farm brand) and it measured out to be about 9 x 9-1/2 inches or something similar to that measurement. I didn't change the size of the pastry to suit the recipe and it still came out fine. As long as you have two sheets of pastry that can fit perfectly over each other, you'll be just fine.  


I used egg wash and spread it on to 1" edges of the pastry and placed the compote in the center. Then I placed the second pastry sheet, which was precut as styled in the picture below, on to the top of the egg-washed pastry. To better understand this part of the recipe, please watch:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEA55UeDMew&t=13s. I wouldn't have understood the recipe instructions as well otherwise.


I wish I had taken a picture of the jalousie when we cut it into fourths. Either way, it came out extremely rich and absolutely indulging. It's worth giving it a shot the next time your craving something sweet to eat! :)
