Step 1

Mix the sliced pears with fruit jelly and orange zest and set aside. Use an immersion blender or food processor to blend the cottage cheese smooth then add the egg, sugar, salt, vanilla and cinnamon. Roll out the puff pastry each to 11 X 11" and place on lined baking sheets. Divide the cheese mixture in half and spread evenly down the middle of each. Distribute the pears evenly on top. Fold the sides of the dough over the top and crimp the edges to seal. Cut 4 or 5 slits in each danish. Mix the egg with 1 tsp water and brush on tops. Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes then reduce heat to 375°F for another 10-15 minutes. If you like dust with icing sugar or drizzle with glaze. Two danishes serves about 12 people.
