Fresh fruit puree is lower in sugar.

Mix in flour and pinch of salt gently with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula.

Finish mixing the dough by hand on a board until smooth.

Wrap the dough in foil and chill in the fridge for about 1 hour.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface, using flour and powdered sugar to prevent sticking.

Cut the dough into squares or circles.

Place a small spoonful of fruit preserves in the center of each piece.

Fold the corners of the dough over the filling to create a pocket, squeezing to seal.

If needed, dip fingers in water to help seal the edges.

Place on a cookie sheet without any fat.

Bake at 350°F for about 12-14 minutes until edges are brown.

Allow to cool before sprinkling powdered sugar on top.
