Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups (500 mL) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) granulated sugar
  • 4 tsp (20 mL) baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 3/4 cup (175 mL) 35% whipping cream (approx.)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) E.D.SMITH TRIPLE FRUITS® Raspberry Strawberry & Blackberry Fruit Spread
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) turbinado or coarse sugar

  • Whisk cream, egg and vanilla; stir into flour mixture (do not overwork the dough). Knead dough gently 4 or 5 times; divide in half. Roll out each half on lightly floured work surface; pat or roll into 7-inch (18 cm) circle.
  • Spread 1/4 cup (60 mL) of the fruit spread over top of one round of dough, leaving 1-inch (2.5 cm) border. Top with remaining round. Pinch to seal outside edge; cut into 8 wedges. Place on parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Brush lightly with additional cream and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
