Fruit turnovers

Creativity within food! A blend of blackberries, blueberries and raspberries with a hint of orange is encased in puff pastry and baked until golden brown and oozing with sweet berry juices. These mixed berry hand pies are easy to make and can be assembled and refrigerated a couple hours before baking.

Directions

•    Mix sugar and corn flour in a large bowl.
•    Add the blackberries, raspberries, blueberries and orange zest and mix carefully.

•    Brush the edge of the circle with the beaten egg.
•    Fold over the circles and give the edges a good press.
•    Cut 3 small openings in the top of the pastry and brush with the remaining egg.
