- 1/2 cup
- Fresh raspberries
- 1 cup, lightly crushed
- Powdered sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

- In a small bowl, combine the raspberry jam with the lightly crushed fresh raspberries, mixing until just combined.
- Place a generous spoonful of the raspberry mixture in the center of each pastry square, ensuring not to overfill.
- Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for an attractive finish.

- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before dusting with powdered sugar.
