  2. Thaw puff pastry for 20-25 minutes and roll out to 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured surface.
  3. Spread half of the cooled blackberry jam on one half of the pastry, crumble goat cheese over it, and sprinkle with lemon zest. Fold and cut into 12 strips.
  4. Gently twist each strip and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring space between them.
