Florida Grapefruit, Blueberry and Mascarpone Danish Pastries – Florida Grapefruit

Ingredients

• 3 Florida Grapefruit
• 100g sugar
• 150ml water
• 1 tsp fennel seeds
• 250g mascarpone
• 3 tbsp plain flour
• 3 eggs
• 150g blueberries
• 320g ready-rolled puff pastry
• Slice the Florida Grapefruit in half and place in a shallow pan with the sugar, water, and fennel seed.
• Bring the pan to a simmer until the fruit is tendered; it should take 20 minutes or so.
• In a mixing bowl, place the mascarpone, flour, and eggs; then, whisk together.
• Roll the pastry out and cut into 6 squares.
• When the Florida Grapefruit is cooked, softly remove from the heat and carefully lift out onto a cooling rack.
• Using a square pastry cutter, make an indentation in the centre of each square but don’t cut through; this will help the pastry rise up around the filling while baking.
• Transfer the pastry squares onto a lined baking tray, making sure there is a little bit of space between each square.
• Place approximately 50g of the mascarpone mixture in the centre of each pastry square; then, add a few blueberries.
• Lift the cooked slices of Florida Grapefruit onto the centre of the pastries and brush with the remaining beaten egg.
• Bake in a pre-heated oven at 170c for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
