  • Author: Marie Bostwick

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups fresh blackberries
  • 3 T tapioca flour (can sub cornstarch)
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 T lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 T butter
  • 1 package (2 sheets) frozen puff pastry dough
  • Flour for rolling out dough

Instructions

Make the Blackberry Filling

  1. Place the blackberries, salt, sugar, lemon juice, and tapioca flour in a heavy-bottomed saucepan on stove over medium-high heat.
  2. Stir to mix ingredients, then mash berries with a wooden spoon or potato masher to help release berry juice. Cook, stirring frequently, until mixture just comes to a boil.
  3. Remove pan from stove. Stir in butter until it melts.

  5. Fold pastry over filling and into a triangle, matching edges. Press fork tines firmly along the pastry edges, paying special attention to the corners. (See post for tips). Repeat steps 4 and 5 with remaining squares. The roll out remaining pastry sheet to make four more turnovers.
  6. Place turnovers on prepared baking pan. Brush top of each turnover with egg wash. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, until turnovers have puffed nicely and turned golden brown.
