Super Tardily Cherry-Red Strudel

This strudel is made amongst Pepperidge Farm Puff Pasty (from the freezer section) in addition to it couldn't live easier. It slices beautifully in addition to it is delicious served warm amongst a big scoop of vanilla H2O ice cream, but it is also splendid at room temperature. It is a huge hitting at our house!!

 

 

1 canvas of frozen puff pastry (thawed)
(1) 14½ oz. tin ruby-red tart pie cherries packed inwards water
¾ loving cup granulated saccharide (divided)
2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon corn starch
pinch of salt
¼ teaspoon almond extract
2 drops ruby-red nutrient coloring (optional)

Drain the cherries (but salve the juice).  Mix ½ loving cup of the juice from the cherries, with one-half of the saccharide and all of the cornstarch in addition to a pinch of salt.

Cook (constantly stirring) the juice mixture on medium estrus for iii or four minutes or until it gets ULTRA thick.  Remove from estrus in addition to stir inwards the remainder of the sugar, the drained cherries in addition to almond extract. Mix good in addition to pose approximately plastic wind on the surface of the hot mixture and chill for an hr (or until actually cold).

CRUST
You tin either let one canvas of puff pastry (a box comes amongst two sheets) thaw inwards the fridge overnight (thats the best) or y'all tin speed thaw on the kitchen counter (I wind it inwards plastic wrap) for nigh an hour. The box says xl minutes, but it actually is a lot easier to travel amongst if y'all allow it sit down for an hour.

Dust your counter amongst a niggling flour in addition to whorl out the dough to a 12" x 16" rectangle.  Spread the cherry filling on 1 half (keep it nigh an inch away from the sides) similar this:

 

 

Starting amongst the fruit end, simply whorl it upward in addition to fold the ends.  Lay it on a parchment newspaper lined baking canvas (or spray amongst vegetable spray). in addition to brush it all over amongst egg launder (1 egg beaten amongst a teaspoon of water). Sprinkle generously amongst granulated saccharide in addition to and thus cutting a few slash marks across the guide house of the strudel (for venting) but don't cutting besides deep.

 

 

Bake inwards preheated 375 oven for 35 minutes, or until golden brown.  Makes 1 12" strudel. Enjoy!!

NOTE: For those who aren't familiar amongst it, Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry is flora inwards the freezer department of your grocery store, nigh the Cool Whip etc., it comes inwards a 17.3 ounce parcel that contains two sheets.
