2. Line a flat pie dish with puff pastry, about ¼ inch thick.

3. Roll out another piece of puff pastry to ½ inch thick and cut it into 1-inch wide strips.

4. Wet one side of the strips and lay them around the edge of the pie dish.

5. Fill the center with preserved fruit or jam.

6. Decorate the top with small leaves of puff pastry or twisted strips.

7. Bake for 30 minutes.

8. Serve cold.
