Rhubarb-strawberry Unicorn Pillows Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • ** Puff Pastry Pillows **
  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Unfold the pastry on lightly floured surface.
  • For smaller pillows: Roll into 15"x12" rectangle and cut into 16- 20 squares. For larger pillows: Cut into 9 squares. Bake for about 10 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flip over each pillow and bake for another 4 or 5 minutes until lightly browned.

  • ** Rhubarb-Strawberry Compote **
  • Put a shallow glass dish in the freezer.
  • Trim the rhubarb by removing the ends, and leaves. Peel the rhubarb just as you would celery, removing any thick stringy sections. Put the peelings into a nonreactive saucepan with water, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and cloves. Bring to boil, lower heat slightly and cover and boil for 5 minutes. Setup a large bowl with a strainer on top. Drain the mixture into the stainer. Discard the solid remaining but pour the remaining liquid back into the saucepan.
  • Cut the peeled rhubarb into 1/2-inch pieces; if the stalks are wide, you can cut them lengthwise first. Bring the poaching liquid to simmer and add the rhubarb. Simmer gently, partially covered for 3 to 5 minutes. Ready the glass dish near the saucepan. At the first first sign of tenderness, transfer the rhubarb from the liquid with a slotted spoon to the glass dish. Spread the rhubarb out in the dish and refrigerate uncovered.
  • While the rhubarb cools, let the remaining poaching liquid come to a slow boil. In a small bowl combine the cold water and cornstarch. Increase the heat of the poaching liquid to a boil and reduce to about a 1/2 a cup. Add the cornstarch and bring to a boil again. Pour the liquid into a serving bowl and add the minced ginger. Cool to room temperature.
  • Add the strawberries to the rhubarb and add the poaching liquid. Toss gently and refrigerate.

  • ** Rhubarb-Strawberry Glaze **
  • In a bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, strawberry+rhubarb drippings, and vanilla; stir until combined and smooth
Travels well. Separated each part and assembled later. I even warmed up everything in the microwave. Big hit at work!   Close
