Ingredients

7 oz. frozen all-butter puff pastry
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 lb. blackberries and raspberries

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unfold the puff pastry on the baking sheet and cut it into two 5- by 6-inch rectangles. Cut each rectangle on the diagonal to form 2 triangles. Refrigerate until the pastry is chilled, about 10 minutes.
2. Step 2Separate the triangles so they're evenly spaced. Bake the pastry for 25 minutes, or until nicely browned and crisp.
3. Step 3Meanwhile, in a saucepan, bring the sugar and water to a simmer over moderate heat. Add the blackberries and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the raspberries and cook for 10 seconds. Stir a few times; transfer to a bowl.
4. Step 4Place the pastry on plates, top with the berries, and serve.
