Ingredients:

• 2 Texas Red Grapefruit, sectioned
• 1 small jar strawberry jam
• 1 package (17.3 oz) puff pastry sheets, thawed
• 1 egg plus 1 tablespoon water
• 1 small package of chopped pecans
• sugar, for sprinkling
• confectioners’ sugar for topping

Directions:

Section the Texas Red Grapefruit which will yield 10-12 sections of fruit.  Set aside.

Heat oven to 400 degrees.  Whisk the egg and 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl.  On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets into 12 inch squares.  Cut each sheet into 9 equal squares approximately 4 inches per square.

To the center of each square, place one section of grapefruit and 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of strawberry jam.  Sprinkle chopped pecans over the section and jam.  Brush the edges of the square with the egg mixture and fold in half diagonally to form a triangle.  Press very well to seal the edges and transfer to an ungreased baking sheet.  Lightly brush the tops with the egg mixture and sprinkle with sugar.  Bake for 14 minutes or until browned.  Cool on a rack and then lightly dust with confectioners’ sugar.
