Can I use different jam for this recipe?

Absolutely! While the Berry & Brine Rhubarb Cinnamon Jam adds a unique tangy warmth, you can easily swap it for other flavors. Try strawberry, apricot, or even a mixed berry jam. Just make sure the jam isn’t too runny—it needs to stay put in the pastry while baking. Experiment with your favorites!

Can you make this recipe gluten-free?

Yes! Just use a high-quality gluten-free puff pastry. Many stores carry great options that bake up just as flaky. Double-check your jam and glaze ingredients to ensure they’re gluten-free, and you’re good to go. It’s a fantastic way to keep this dessert accessible for everyone!

Could I use chocolate instead of vanilla?

For sure! You can swap the vanilla extract in the glaze for a teaspoon of cocoa powder or melted chocolate. Drizzle the chocolate glaze over the turnovers, or even tuck a few chocolate chips into the filling along with the jam for an extra decadent twist.
