What You Need:

• 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries (substitute store-bought strawberry jam, if desired)

• 1 cup sugar

• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

• 1 (17.3-ounce) box (2 sheets) frozen puff pastry, thawed

• Powdered sugar, for garnish

What You Do:

1.  Combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Mash mixture with a potato masher until the berries are softened and sugar is dissolved.
2.  Increase heat to high, and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil. Boil, stirring often to prevent mixture from sticking to pan, until thick, about 5 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
3.  Place one sheet of puff pastry onto a lightly floured, movable, flat surface, such as a lightweight cutting board. Lightly dust surface of pastry with flour and roll to smooth creases.
4.  Spread pastry sheet with 1/3 cup of the strawberry mixture. (Refrigerate any remaining strawberry mixture for up to 5 days.)
5.  Roll the second sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth creases; place on top of first sheet and press down gently.
6.  Place filled puff pastry in refrigerator for 15 minutes.
7.  Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick silicone mat.
8.  Using a ruler as a guide, cut into pastry into 1 1/2-inch strips. Carefully pick up strips and place on baking sheets, twisting 3 times before laying down.
9. Bake 20 to 22 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Cool 10 minutes and finish with a dusting of powdered sugar.
