Table of Contents
Puff Pastry Sheet (1 rolled, cut into 6 rectangles): The base of the turnover, buttery and flaky when baked. Go for high-quality, pre-rolled pastry for ease.
Berry & Brine Rhubarb Cinnamon Jam (6 tbsp): The star ingredient, this jam brings tangy rhubarb and warm cinnamon flavors together in a perfect balance.
Egg (1, beaten): Helps create that shiny, golden crust. Use fresh, free-range eggs for the best results.
Icing Sugar (3/4 cup): Sweetens the glaze and gives it that silky finish. Sift it for a smooth texture.
Pure Vanilla Extract (1 tsp): Adds a warm, sweet note to the glaze. Always choose pure vanilla for the richest flavor.
Lemon Juice (1 tsp): A splash of citrus brightens the glaze and balances the sweetness. Freshly squeezed is best.
Cream (2 tsp): Adds richness to the glaze, making it perfectly pourable.

These Rhubarb Cinnamon Turnovers combine flaky puff pastry, tangy jam, and sweet vanilla glaze for a nostalgic, irresistible treat!
Prep the Pastry: Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the puff pastry into 6 rectangles.
Add the Filling: Spoon 1 tablespoon of Berry & Brine Rhubarb Cinnamon Jam into the center of each rectangle.
Fold and Seal: Fold one corner of the pastry to the opposite corner, forming a triangle. Press the edges to seal.
Brush with Egg Wash: Beat the egg and brush it over each turnover for a golden finish.
Bake: Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 22–23 minutes, or until golden brown. Let them cool completely.
Make the Glaze: Whisk icing sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and cream in a medium bowl until smooth.
Drizzle and Serve: Drizzle the glaze over the cooled turnovers and enjoy!
And there you have it—flaky, golden Rhubarb Cinnamon Turnovers filled with tangy Rhubarb Cinnamon Jam goodness and topped with a sweet vanilla glaze. Whether you’re serving them for brunch, dessert, or a cozy afternoon treat, these pastries are sure to be a hit. Happy baking!
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!
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!
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.
