- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¾ cup sugar
- 8 ounces goat cheese
- 2 lemons, zested
- 4 teaspoons raw sugar

Instructions
- Prepare the blackberry jam by cooking blackberries, water, lemon juice, and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat for 20-30 minutes until thickened. Smash berries gently and cool.
- Thaw the puff pastry sheets at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Roll each sheet into a rectangle on a floured surface.
