Strawberry Puff Pastries

I've been on a bit of an unintentional hiatus, mainly because I've discovered that baking as a hobby is quite the pocket drainer.

Anyhow, I had some left over puff pastry in the freezer and the idea of these Strawberry Puff Pastries sprang to mind. As a child, my mom would treat me to a strawberry pastry at Grain D' Or (now Anderson's Bakery) every once in a while. To this day, those pastries bring back pleasant memories so I wanted to create something similar. After doing a little research, I used a recipe for Sunny Side Up Apricot Pastries, from Baking with Julia, as a starting point.
