Yeah, yeah, I know. I’m horrible. I have some great posts coming up soon, though…including the dreaded “What to drink with Thanksgiving dinner” post.
However, this isn’t about wine. Today, we’re talking about my other favorite subject…FOOD! Specifically, the versatility of Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry !!
If you aren’t familiar with Puff Pastry, then let me introduce you to the flaky deliciousness!
Puff Pastry is often seen as something that’s difficult to work with, due to it’s delicate nature. However, it’s NOT difficult at all to work with.
Some tips for working with Puff Pastry inlcude:
- Thaw the pastry for about 30 minutes before working with it
- Lightly flour the work surface
- Roll the pastry out to the desired size
- If it gets too warm, or hard to manipulate, return it to the fridge to chill down
- Preheat your oven for 15-20 minutes before baking Puff Pastry
One of my favorite things to do with Puff Pastry is to roll it out thin, cut it into strips, bake them, and use it as a dipping sauce for a Finnish dessert called kiisseli. What is kiisseli? The best description would be it’s a combination of fruit soup and jelly. It’s not thick and wobbly like jelly, but it’s not thin and watery like a soup can be.
The sweetness of kiisseli comes from the fruit itself, not any added sugars. My recipe comes from Tarja Moles, a fellow blogger who’s work you can find at No Naughties. Tarja Moles is the author of No Naughties: Sweet Treats without Sugar, Wheat, Gluten and Yeast.

I have posted her recipe, found here with my substitutions in parentheses. She used strawberries in hers, but there’s no limit to what fruit you can use.
