Ingredients
- For the Blackberry Filling:
- 12 ounces blackberries (can use frozen blackberries)
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- For the Turnovers:
- 17.25 ounces puff pastry (1 package, two sheets), thawed
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- For the Glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk (add more as needed)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium saucepan, combine blackberries, sugar, water, salt, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring frequently. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the blackberries start breaking down and releasing their juices. Stir in cornstarch and continue simmering for another 1-2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
- Assemble the Turnovers: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 squares. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cooled blackberry filling into the center of each square.
- Prepare the Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush the edges of each square with the egg wash. Fold each pastry square diagonally to form a triangle, ensuring the filling stays centered and does not spill over the edges. Use a fork to press the edges together and seal the pastry.
- Bake the Turnovers: Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to make 3 slits in the top of each turnover or poke holes with a fork to allow steam to escape. Bake for 18-21 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed. Remove from the oven and let the turnovers cool.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and heavy cream until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled turnovers and let it set for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For an extra touch, sprinkle a little sugar on top of the turnovers before baking for a bit of crunch and shine.
- You can use any berries you like, or a mix of berries, for a different twist on this recipe.
