Notes
- Frozen blackberries may be used in place of fresh. If using frozen blackberries, thaw completely first. Thoroughly drain the liquid from the thawed berries, then proceed as directed.
Storage & Make Ahead
- Store: Keep leftover blackberry turnovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you prefer them warm, just reheat before serving to enjoy that flaky texture again.
- Freeze: Assemble the turnovers and freeze them unbaked on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Once frozen solid, transfer them to a freezer-safe container. Baked turnovers can also be frozen and reheated directly from frozen for a quick treat.
- Reheat: For the best results, reheat turnovers in a 350°F oven or air fryer for 5-7 minutes. This method brings back the crispy, golden puff pastry while warming the filling perfectly. Avoid the microwave, as it can make the pastry soggy.
- Make Ahead: Prep these turnovers up to the point of baking and refrigerate them, covered with plastic wrap, for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, pop them straight into the oven for freshly baked pastries on demand!
