Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
  • 500g canned peaches (drained and chopped)
  • 3 tablespoons sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: Drain the canned peaches and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, mix the peaches with sugar. Set aside and let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the juices to release.
  2. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. Assemble the turnovers: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into squares or rectangles, depending on your preferred turnover size. Spoon a small amount of the peach mixture into the center of each square, leaving a border around the edges.
  4. Seal and bake: Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle or rectangle shape, pressing the edges together to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative look. Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and puffed.
  5. Serve: Once baked, remove the turnovers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Pair them with a refreshing cup of hibiscus mint tea for the perfect combination.

Notes

  • If you prefer fresh peaches over canned, feel free to use them, but ensure to cook them down a bit to make them tender and juicy.
  • You can also try adding other fruits like apples or berries for a different twist.
  • To make the turnovers even more indulgent, drizzle a little icing or powdered sugar on top before serving.
  • The hibiscus mint tea can be served hot or chilled for a refreshing summer beverage.
