Updated July 2024
This week, we visited a local u-pick farm and picked 5 gallons of blueberries! Most went into the freezer, but plenty were enjoyed fresh, and we even made a couple of delicious treats: blueberry pie and blueberry turnovers.
For the pie, I used my go-to recipe from The Best Recipe, while the turnovers came from a blend of about three different recipes. They turned out fantastic (if I do say so myself!), and I’ll share how we made them. They’re simple, tasty, and perfect for cooking with kids!

INSTRUCTIONS

- Make turnovers
Brush the edges of the puff pastry squares with beaten egg. Add a dollop of the filling to each puff pastry square, fold over the pastry to form a triangle, and press with a fork to seal edges.
