Time 35m

Yield 8 turnovers

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 1/2 cups (about 1 1/2 pounds) fresh strawberries, quartered and destemmed
4 1/2 cups (about 1 1/2 pounds) fresh blueberries, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
4 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup orange juice
1 package frozen puff pastry, thawed
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 egg, beaten
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a medium pot, combine the first 6 ingredients and mix well. Cook on medium heat until tender and syrupy; about 10 minutes. Allow to cool in refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle on a well-floured surface and cut into 8 squares. Place onto a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Brush the edges of the square with the beaten egg. Place about 2 1/2 tablespoons of filling in the center of the square, leaving 1-inch on all sides clear. Repeat until all the puff pastry is used. Fold the turnover into a triangle and using a fork, crimp along the edges making sure to enclose all the filling in the pastry. Brush egg wash on top of each triangle.
  • Bake the turnovers until puffy and golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups fruit, preferably peaches, nectarines, plums, or a mix of all three, pitted and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Zest of 1/2 orange
Juice of 1/2 orange
Pinch of coarse salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Pate Brisee to Make One Double-Crust 10-Inch Pie or 12 Hand Pies
1 egg, lightly beaten
Sanding sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix together fruit, sugar, orange zest and juice, salt, and cornstarch; mix until well combined. Set fruit mixture aside.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll out one piece of dough to a 16-by-11-inch rectangle. Trim to 15-by-10 inches. Cut into six 5-inch squares. With a dry pastry brush, sweep off excess flour. Working with one square at a time, place 2 tablespoons of reserved fruit mixture in the center. Brush two connecting edges with beaten egg and fold on the diagonal over the filling, pressing to seal. Repeat process with remaining squares.
  • Repeat entire process with remaining pate brisee. Place hand pies on prepared baking sheet. Brush pies with remaining egg wash and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Using a pair of clean scissors, snip the center of one side of each hand pie to allow steam to escape.
  • Transfer baking sheets to oven and bake until crusts are golden brown and filling is bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm.

Yield Makes 1 pint

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound halved hulled strawberries
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 pound raspberries
1/2 pound blueberries

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, toss strawberries with sugar. Let sit, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved, 1 hour. Add lemon juice and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until berries are soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Add raspberries and blueberries and cook over medium, 25 minutes. Transfer to a clean glass jar, secure lid, and let cool to room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, fresh berries: This will ensure that your turnovers are bursting with flavor.
  • Don't overfill the turnovers: Too much filling will make them difficult to seal and they may burst open during baking.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the turnovers: This will help to prevent the dough from tearing.
  • Bake the turnovers until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Serve the turnovers warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream: This will make them even more delicious!
