1/2 cup dried cranberries |
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 cup cranberry juice |
3/4 cup gouda cheese, grated |
1 (400 g) package frozen puff pastry, defrosted (about 1 lb) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. In a food processor pulse apricots 2 or 3 times, then add raisins and cranberries and chop. Do not over-process.
3. Stir in spices and cranberry juice and set aside.
4. Roll out pastry to 1/4 inch thickness, leaving straight edges.
5. Spread the fruit mixture over the pastry, sprinkle cheese over, then roll up into a cylinder.
