Pineapple Guava Pastries

Ingredients

Pineapple guava

2 cups, diced

Sugar

1/2 cup

Lemon juice

2 tablespoons

Cornstarch

2 tablespoons

Puff pastry sheets

2 sheets, thawed

Egg

1, beaten (for egg wash)

Powdered sugar

for dusting

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the diced pineapple guava, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets to ensure they're even and slightly thinner.
5. Cut the pastry into squares or rectangles, approximately 4x4 inches in size, or your desired dimensions.
6. Place a generous spoonful of the cooled pineapple guava filling in the center of each pastry square.
7. Fold the pastry over the filling to create a triangle or rectangle, pressing the edges firmly together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for an extra decorative touch.
8. Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg to achieve a beautiful golden finish during baking.
9. Arrange the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are puffed and golden brown.
10. Once baked, remove the pastries from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack.
11. Before serving, dust the warm pastries with powdered sugar for an inviting touch.
12. Enjoy these delightful pineapple guava pastries warm or at room temperature!
