Lara Jean's Strawberry Turnovers
Lara Jean's Strawberry Turnovers
We've already made Lara Jean's Cherry Turnovers, so here is another recipe featuring strawberries instead! These turnovers are also shaped like love letters in tribute to the first movie!!
You can use home-made pie crust or store-bought for this recipe, depending on how much time you have. Either way, they're a perfect treat to enjoy with the new movie!
Servings: 6 Turnovers
Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Total Time: 40 Minutes
Ingredients
2 cups strawberries
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
4 teaspoons lemon juice
Pinch of kosher salt
Instructions
If you'd like to make your own pie dough, check out our Cherry Turnovers recipe! Otherwise, store-bought will suffice!
Filling: Stir together the strawberries, sugar, and salt in a sauce pan over medium heat for 5 minutes. Bring to a simmer and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Filling: Remove from heat and place into a glass bowl. Stir the cornstarch into it, and put it back into the pan to simmer. After 3-5 more minutes, remove from the heat, stir in the lemon juice, and allow to cool.
Pie Dough: I find it easiest to roll the pie dough out on 2 cookie sheets prepped with parchment paper. You can then cut out 2.5in x 2.5in squares and arrange them on the sheet without transferring as much. Cut out 6 squares, with 3 squares on each pan.
Pie Dough: Use a small heart shaped cookie cutter to cut out hearts from the remaining dough.
Pie Dough: Chill the dough in the fridge while you preheat the oven to 350˚F.
Assembly: Remove the chilled pie dough from the fridge. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the strawberries onto the center of each square. Fold up the bottom two edges to meet in the middle of the larger square to make the shape of an open envelope and use a small knife or pastry cutter to press indentations onto the dough.
Assembly: Brush the pastries and the cookie cutter hearts with an egg wash (2 eggs beaten). Place a heart onto the center of each envelope.
Bake: Bake the pastries for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Enjoy!
