Ingredients

Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce

  • 1 cup rhubarb
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 2 teaspoons water
  • 1 cup strawberries
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Turnovers

  • 1 package 2 Count, 17.3 oz frozen puff pastry
  • 1 egg white

Vanilla Frosting

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Thaw puff pastry at room temperature. This will take about one hour.
  • Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce
  • To a saucepan over medium high heat, add rhubarb, sugar, flour, salt, butter and water. Cook for 5 minutes until the rhubarb is softened and breaks down into a sauce.
  • Add the strawberries to the pan and cook for an additional 2-5 minutes, depending on how big of chunks of strawberries you want to remain in the filling.
  • Remove the sauce from the oven and stir in 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Turnovers
  • Spoon two tablespoons of cooled strawberry rhubarb sauce into the center of each puff pastry square, leaving a small border around the edges. Be careful not to overfill, as it may make sealing the turnovers difficult.
  • Fold the pastry over the filling to create a turnover shape, enclosing the filling completely.
  • Press the edges firmly together with a fork to crimp the edges, creating a seal.
  • OPTIONAL: For a golden and glossy finish, you can brush the top of each turnover with a beaten egg white or milk using a pastry brush.
  • Place the turnovers on a greased or parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 400°F or until the turnovers turn golden brown and puffed up.
  • Remove the turnovers from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes.
  • Vanilla Frosting
  • Whisk the frosting ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Add additional milk if the frosting is too thick to drizzle.
  • Drizzle the cooled turnovers with frosting. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
