Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tsp orange zest
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp coarse sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan, combine cranberries, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat until cranberries burst and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in orange zest and vanilla extract. Let cool.
- Roll out puff pastry sheets and cut each into 4 squares.
- Spoon cranberry filling onto one half of each square. Fold the pastry over to form triangles and seal edges with a fork.
- Brush turnovers with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use frozen cranberries if fresh are not available.
- Adjust sugar to taste if cranberries are too tart.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon to the filling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
