Super Simple, Not At All Healthy, Jam Swirls.

Posted on February 4, 2013 9 Comments

Sometimes you just have to throw all your good intentions out the window and make something quick, easy, and sweet.

For those times, I give you my super simple, not at all healthy, Jam Swirl recipe.

Actually this isn’t so much of a recipe as it is a set of instructions…

Jam Swirls

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes

Delicious jam swirls, a quick and easy treat the kids can cook.

Ingredients

  • Frozen puff pastry sheets
  • jam of any kind
  • cinnamon and sugar mix

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius and pop some baking paper on a large tray.
  2. Separate your puff pastry sheets and let them defrost for a little while. One sheet makes about 20-22 swirls so only defrost as many as you need.
  3. Once defrosted, spread the pastry with the jam of your choosing and sprinkle on lots of cinnamon sugar.
  4. Roll up your jammy, cinnamon-ey, pastry into a long scroll, try to keep the scroll as tightly rolled as you can.
  5. Slice of sections of scroll with a sharp knife, about 1cm thick and place them on the tray.
  6. Pop the tray into the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the scrolls have puffed up and turned a golden brown.
  7. While still hot sprinkle with a little more cinnamon sugar and eat them while they are still warm!

    Since health is obviously what we’re aiming for witht his recipe, they look like they’d go down a treat with a drizzle of cream or scoop of ice cream, mmmmm.

    Oh dear! They are made a little too often around here! Any time we use pastry these are made with the off cuts! I’ve never used cinnamon but will be sure to give it a try! :) Delicious!

    I love making these with my kids and also do a savoury version with tomato paste and cheese equally delicious and marginally more healthy perfect for after school snacks for the kids.

    We make a savoury variation on this with puff pastry, tomato sauce or paste, grated cheese, salami/ham, italian mixed herbs or granulated garlic. Sometimes we leave out the cheese or meat depending on what’s in the fridge, and grated parmesan works well too!

    Same process… same delicious naughtiness at the end. Great for taking along to family parties/friends houses or just as an entree while a big cottage pie (heaped with vege so we don’t feel too bad about the indulgence!) cooks.
