Easy Cherry Peach Turnovers

Originally published Sesp 2011.

Here’s another cleaning out the fridge recipe where I combined “not enough of anything” into something delicious.

I had thawed a package of frozen puff pastry the day before for another recipe. However, plans for dinner changed and I was left having to use it for something else.

Use either fresh or frozen Cherries in this recipe.

Turnovers were my first thought but again did not want to go to the store. There was not enough of a single fruit in the fridge was enough to make the 8 turnovers the pastry would provide.

There were only a couple of small peaches and about a cup of cherries left. Combined though, they added up to sufficient fruit to make a great flavour combination for the filling.

Fresh or frozen peaches both work well in this sample recipe idea.

Next time I will make these intentionally because we all really enjoyed this particular fruit combination. For more tried and true recipes, check out this collection of our 25 Most Popular Recipes since Rock Recipes began back in 2007.

Ingredients

For the turnovers

• 1 pound frozen puff pastry, rolled if necessary and cut into 8 4 to 5 inch squares.
• 2 peaches, peeled and thickly sliced
• 1 cup fresh cherries, pitted
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tsp corn starch
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1 egg + 1 tbsp water whisked together for eggwash

For the Vanilla Glaze (optional)

• 1/2 cup icing sugar, powdered sugar
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• few drops milk

Instructions

1. Toss the peaches, cherries, sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon together until well combined.
2. Whisk the egg and water together to make an eggwash.
3. Place puff pastry squares on a parchment lined baking sheet.
4. Divide the filling equally among the 8 pastry squares placing it on one side of the dough.
5. Brush the edges of the pastry with the eggwash. Fold the corners of the pastry together to form triangles, gently pressing the edges together to seal.
6. Place pastries in the fridge for 20 minutes before popping the cookie sheet into a preheated 400 degree F oven for about 20 minutes or until the pastry is an even golden brown all over.
7. Cool for at least 20 minutes and serve warm with a drizzle of vanilla glaze.

To prepare the Vanilla Glaze

1. Whisk together the icing sugar, vanilla extract and milk until smooth and thickened but still able to be poured. Add only enough milk to get the glaze to a proper consistency.
