2513.0. "Rasberry Turnovers" by BPOV06::MANDERFIELD (Common Sense Is Not So Common) Mon Jul 16 1990 13:13

    
    	I picked 4 cups of rasberrys yesterday and i would like to
    	make some turnovers.  I did a d/t and only came up with 
    	one file on turnovers.  Does anybody have a rasberry turnover
    	recipe?  
    
    	Thanks

2513.1Options & a word of adviceWAV13::STEINHARTToto, I think we're not in Kansas anymoreTue Jul 17 1990 16:5915
    I've made good turnovers with jelly and leftover pie dough.  You could
    cook the berries with some thickener first, maybe cornstarch.
    
    A word of caution - the jelly always oozes out and bakes hard on the
    pan.  So I recommend you line the pan with aluminum foil before baking.  
    
    You could also use a butter cookie recipe - I use that to make cookies
    with prune filling, called hamantaschen.
    
    Another option  - a sweet yeasted dough.
    
    Sounds delicious.  The farms have pick your own now in New Hampshire!

    Turnovers, the flaky kind, can be made with filo pastry aka strudel
    pastry.  You can buy filo in long boxes in the freezer section of
    many grocery stores.  It's a real pain to make yourself.  You can
    also find puff pastry in grocery stores, frozen, which also would
    be good.
    
    For the filling, I would check a cookbook that has pie recipes in
    it and make up a pie-type filling.  OR I would make a jam out of
    the berries.
    
    To assemble, take several sheets of pastry, and do the "lay down a sheet
    and brush with butter, lay another sheet on top" stuff until you have
    several sheets, put filling in, and fold in a triangle shape.  Bake
    at some reasonable temperature, probably 325 or 350 would work, until
    browned.  
    
    I bet that if you found puff pastry there would be a recipe on the box.
