Maple- Orange Prune Jingle Bells Pastries - Step 1

Directions:

• Put the prunes in a sauce pan with 2 cups of cold water and 5 tablespoons of the sugar.
• Bring slowly to a boil and cook over low heat for 20 to 2 5 minutes, or until the prunes are very tender. Drain the prunes, cut them in half and pit them.
• Mix them well with the remaining sugar, maple syrup and butter.
• To make the dough, pour the flour onto a pastry board and make a well in the center.
• Put in the orange extract, egg, salt, and the pieces of butter.
• Work all of the ingredients together with your hands until a smooth dough is formed.
• Roll out the dough, fold it in quarters and roll it out again about 1/8 inch thickness.
• Cut out the dough with cookie cutters, you should have pairs of cut shapes
• Butter the cookie sheet and line it with one set of dough. Place some of the prune mixture on each half.
• Cover with the other matching half, seal with a fork.
• Preheat the oven to 300° F.
• Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the edges of the pastry are lightly brown.

A cold surface or countertop helps the pastry hold its shape while baking.
