I had puff pastry and peaches galore, so I went searching for a turnover recipe. I was delighted it was Charmie777’s recipe! How long have we been acquainted through recipes…20+ years? ?? The turnovers were easy to assemble and delicious! CkNRedHd from (ancient) AOL

Can the turnovers be frozen? If so, before or after baking? I will be using fresh peaches.
-
When making the fresh peach turnovers, how much do you roll out the dough before cutting it into squares?

Works with frozen peaches too. Just strain, thicken and sweeten juice, and add peaches, ....

Thanks much for sharing this recipe, one I need to keep on file so I can actually make it with fresh peaches next time around! Meanwhile, I did it up with canned peaches & was pleased with the results! With home grown, though, or with nice ripe peaches in season, this would be an even greater hit! Thanks for sharing this!

This sounds like what I'm looking to make with my Niagara Ontario Peaches. Let you know how this turned out for me . in few hours!

Perfect! I made my share of little errors because I had never made turnovers or used puff pastry before, but They came out wonderful! We have a peach tree in our yard but we fight many birds who come and peck at the fruit. This was a good way of using some of them and everyone loved them!

Love how super quick and easy these are to make! I normally do't make too many pastry based desserts as I find them a bit of a faff, but I love when recipes call for puff pastry; life is too short to make your own! The filling is delicious too, I had around 1/4 cup leftover, after making all my turnovers (I was wary about overfilling them!) so I served the leftover filling with the turnovers; delicious!
