Homemade Berry Turnovers

Hello sweet friends, it’s Alicia from A Burst of Beautiful joining you and I am so happy to be here again. I wanted to share something a little different with you today and I hope you enjoy this post as much as I do.

We love creating a beautiful and welcoming home, and for us, a big part of that involves nourishing our family and friends with homemade comfort food. There is just something so special about taking the time to gather around the table each day and enjoy each other’s company while digging into a delicious homemade meal.

We prefer simple, family-friendly recipes that include fresh, local ingredients. In fact, we think it’s so important that we started our own garden this spring. Watching our garden grow and thrive from tiny seeds and harvesting our own produce has been such a satisfying endeavour.

And although we always aim to use the freshest ingredients we can, we know that it’s not always convenient or realistic. That’s why I love today’s recipe so much – Homemade Berry Turnovers.

You can take advantage of the bounty of fresh berries this summer to make a batch of these sweet berry turnovers. Or pick up a few bags of frozen berries at your grocer and these turnovers are just as amazing.

Homemade Berry Turnovers

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 1 package frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
• 2 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 6 tbsp water
• 4 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

1. Preheat over to 350 degrees F.
2. Add blueberries, raspberries, sugar and cinnamon to skillet.
3. Once it has started sizzling add the water. Boil for 2 minutes.
4. Add cornstarch and continue to cook until thickened to the consistency of jam.
5. Roll out each puff pastry and cut into 4 squares each (8 total). Add approximately 1/3 cup of berry mixture to the centre of each square.
6. Using your finger, apply water to the edges of the triangles so that they will stick together when cooking. Fold over, corner to corner, creating a triangle and press down wetted edges.
7. Wet the top of each triangle and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
8. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

I hope you enjoy this family-favorite recipe of ours! It’s the perfect treat to savor on a summer morning, while sipping your coffee and enjoying the early morning sun on your patio.
