Ingredients

• 1 package of puff pastry, thawed

• 2 pints of blueberries

• Juice of one lemon

• 1/2 cup butter

• 3 tbs flour

• 3.4 cup sugar

• 1 tsp salt

• Egg wash

• Decorator sugar (optional)

• Cream cheese glaze (optional)

Directions

Step 1. 

In a large bowl, add blueberries and toss with lemon juice. Sprinkle flour and sugar over blueberries and toss to coat. Set aside.

Step 2. 

Lay out puff pastry and cut into strips.

Step 3. 

Brush egg wash around the edges and fold the top inch over the top and bottom of blueberries. Take 1/4 cup of butter and drop from teaspoons along the middle of the blueberries.

Step 4. 

To cover blueberry mixture, take a pair of kitchen shears or a sharp knife and cut slices on the other 2/3rds of the crust cutting right until the blueberries start. Start at top and braid puff pastry strips over blueberry mixture sealing edges as you go to contain mixture into the middle. Cover with egg wash and sprinkle with decorator sugar.

Step 5. 

Bake at 375F for 40 minutes or until pastry is browned and blueberries are starting to bubble a little pit from the seams in the middle. Let cool for 10 minutes before adding optional cream cheese glaze. Serve at room temperature or warm with ice cream.
