Florida Grapefruit, Blueberry and Mascarpone Danish Pastries

Ingredients

  • 3 Florida Grapefruit
  • 100g sugar
  • 150ml water
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds
  • 250g mascarpone
  • 3 tbsp plain flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 150g blueberries
  • 320g ready-rolled puff pastry

Instruction

Tea time should always be served with something sweet. Try this delightful mix of sweet and savoury with Florida Grapefruit and mascarpone cheese.

  1. Slice the Florida Grapefruit in half and place in a shallow pan with the sugar, water, and fennel seed.
  2. Bring the pan to a simmer until the fruit is tendered; it should take 20 minutes or so.
  3. In a mixing bowl, place the mascarpone, flour, and eggs; then, whisk together.
  4. Roll the pastry out and cut into 6 squares.
  5. When the Florida Grapefruit is cooked, softly remove from the heat and carefully lift out onto a cooling rack.
  6. Using a square pastry cutter, make an indentation in the centre of each square but don’t cut through; this will help the pastry rise up around the filling while baking.
  7. Transfer the pastry squares onto a lined baking tray, making sure there is a little bit of space between each square.
  8. Place approximately 50g of the mascarpone mixture in the centre of each pastry square; then, add a few blueberries.
  9. Lift the cooked slices of Florida Grapefruit onto the centre of the pastries and brush with the remaining beaten egg.
  10. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 170c for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
