Tart, rhubarb filled, crispy puff pastry turnovers.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 stalks rhubarb
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • ½ c sugar
  • 18 oz puff pastry (I prefer Trader Joe's all butter pastry)
  • 1 egg (or just the egg white)
  • 1 tsp Swedish sugar (optional - or Demerara or raw sugar)

Instructions

Make the Rhubarb Filling

  • Put the chopped rhubarb in a pan with the sugar and lemon juice and cook until soft. If it’s very runny, let some of the liquid evaporate before removing from the heat and cooling.

Fill and Bake the Rhubarb Turnovers

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC)
  • Roll the puff pastry sheet to form a square, then cut the square into four pieces.
  • Place a heaped teaspoonful of rhubarb into one half corner of each square.Try to keep it away from the edges or the pastry won’t seal. It’s fine if it happens, but just try to avoid it.
  • Dampen the edges of the pastry with your finger dipped in water, then fold the pastry onto itself and press the edges together. Repeat with each turnover.
  • Use the tines of a fork to press the edges to seal completely.
  • Brush with beaten egg (or egg white.) Then make a slit in the top of each rhubarb turnover to vent the pastries.
  • (OPTIONAL: sprinkle with Swedish, Demerara or raw sugar.)
  • Bake for approximately 20-25 mins. until golden brown. Allow to cool on a rack before serving.

Notes

  • I recommend making the rhubarb filling ahead of time.
  • Repeat the pastry steps in order to make 8 turnovers.
  • SPECIAL TREAT - whip some heavy cream and pipe into each turnover.
  • These turnovers freeze beautifully.
