Blueberry Turnovers. A pre-cooked blueberry pie filling and a forgiving candy butter pastry recipe make these turnovers virtually foolproof.
Initially revealed January, 2018.
Blueberry turnovers generally is a actual ache to make utilizing contemporary berries. Typically, the berries will launch all of their juice and soak the pastry earlier than the filling can bubble and thicken.
Then there’s the difficulty of the baking time, which when utilizing contemporary berries in there pure state, might be too lengthy for the pastry, which then will get too darkish.
My answer to those drawback is to  pre-cook a blueberry pie filling and use that as an alternative. The pastry here’s a extra forgiving kind which is sweetened with a bit sugar and incorporates egg yolks to maintain it tender.
This dough is a little more forgiving than a normal pie crust, and is a little more pleasant to having the scrap ends re-rolled to make extra turnovers. It’s the identical dough that I usually blind bake for tarts like my Traditional Lemon Tart recipe.
These are unbelievable to make in late summer time when wild blueberries are available right here in Newfoundland however for the reason that filling is pre-cooked, they’ll very simply be made with frozen berries at any time of yr.
They’re particularly good when served heat with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert.

Notes
I typically make the blueberry filling the night time earlier than if I am making them the following day, as I additionally typically do with the pastry, so that you just solely need to put the turnovers collectively on the day you wish to serve them.
Improvise to chop the circles of dough out if you do not have a big round cutter. Simply discover an empty can or plastic container about 5-6 inches throughout and use that. I really used an empty bitter cream container to chop out the pastry for the turnovers within the pictures.
