Ingredients

FOR THE TARTS

  • 17.3 oz. package puff pastry thawed (I used Pepperidge Farm)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp milk
  • ½ cup blackberry jam
  • ½ cup fresh blueberries 4 oz., cleaned and dried
  • ⅓ cup sliced almonds lightly toasted

FOR THE GLAZE

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp lemon zest

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Unfold both puff pastry and cut in thirds along the creases (so you’ll have 6 strips), then cut those strips in half, so you have 12 rectangles total, 4¼-by-3 inches each. Place the rectangles on the baking sheets.
  • Score each pastry with a sharp knife, about ½-inch from the outer edge, all the way around, making a rectangle inside the rectangle—do not cut all the way through. Then, using a fork, score the inner rectangle about 6 times to keep it from puffing during cooking. Whisk together the egg and milk. Brush the edges of each pastry shell with the egg wash.
  • Spread 2 tsp of jam onto the center of each rectangle, then top with a handful of blueberries.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the blueberries have popped and the puff pastry is puffed up and golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the sliced almonds. Let cool completely.
  • Once completely cooled, make the lemon glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, heavy cream, lemon juice and lemon zest. (Add more powdered sugar to make it thicker or more lemon juice to thin it out. The consistency should be thick, but pourable.) Drizzle over the tarts. Let set.
  • Serve and enjoy!
