1 sheet puff pastry thawed out, cold
1/2 c jam blackberry preserves used here, use what matches the fresh fruit you're using
16 oz berries fresh, or any other fresh fruit you'd like, 2 cups of bite size pieces
1/3 c sugar
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp flour
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 tbsp water

Put parchment paper on a baking sheet. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a bowl combine the egg and water, set aside. In another bowl put your blackberries (or other fresh fruit), sugar, flour, vanilla and gently fold together.
On a floured surface, cutting board, unfold your thawed out sheet of pastry dough. Using a floured rolling pin roll it out into a rectangle (about 12x14")
Move pastry dough on to your baking sheet with parchment.
Put jam into a small bowl and microwave for about 10 seconds. Spoon this along the middle of your pastry dough sheet the long way.
Spoon blackberry mixture over the jam, keeping in the center of your sheet the long way.
Along each long side cut 3" long slits every inch or so so you can create the lattice work for a strudel.
Start at the top and fold the slits in, overlapping slightly downward, alternating sides, over the fruit filling.
Once done brush the egg wash over the top so it will bake golden brown on the top.
Sprinkle remaining 2 tbsp of sugar on top of the whole thing.
Bake for 21-24 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
Allow to cool at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
