Ingredients

Filling

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 peaches peeled, and diced into small cubes
  • 2 cups cherries pits & stems removed
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Pastry

  • 1 package puff pastry {400g; should have 2 squares}
  • 1 egg white
  • Coarse sugar for sprinkling

Bourbon Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar {125g}
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp bourbon
  • 1.5 tbsp milk

Instructions

Filling

  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the peaches and cherries, and cook until soft, around 3 minutes.
  • Add the brown sugar, stir until dissolved.
  • Gently sprinkle the cornstarch over fruit, stir until completely dissolved.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.

Turnovers

  • Pre-heat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or silicone baking mats.
  • Roll one half of puff pastry out at a time to a 10-12 inch X 10-12 inch sized square. Divide into 4 equal squares. Transfer to baking sheet.
  • Spoon 1.5-2 tbsp of filling into the corner of a square of puff pastry.
  • Fold opposite side of pastry over and seal with a fork.
  • Cut slits in the top of the turnovers, then brush with egg whites. Sprinkle with a bit of coarse sugar.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, until lightly golden brown.
  • Cool several minutes on baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Glaze

  • In a medium bowl, beat together powdered sugar, vanilla, bourbon and milk. Drizzle over warm scones.
  • Best served warm.

Notes

Fresh peaches & cherries are recommended for the best flavor, however frozen peaches & cherries may be substituted.
Filling may be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until you are ready to bake.
If you wish to leave out the bourbon, simply replace it with more milk.
