I made these for a friend wanting “healthy” treats for a get together. I adapted a recipe from WW (the company formerly known as Weight Watchers) adding stem ginger to the filling and replacing agave syrup with xylitol. As they have a hamantaschen-esque appearance, I also sprinkled poppy seeds over for a more Purim feel. A few guests asked if they were hamantaschen, so it must have worked. Use all-butter puff pastry or even buttered filo if calories aren’t an issue.

Ingredients

200g ripe plums, chopped into 1cm pieces

30g stem ginger, very finely chopped

1 tbsp Xylitol

320g roll of light puff pastry

1 egg, beaten

1 tbsp poppy seeds

Icing sugar, to serve
