These Turnovers are made with puff-pastry. The filling is a black cherry compote over a dollop of Mascarpone. I made a cherry caramel sauce to drizzle on the turnovers. Nice summery, not too sweet snack or breakfast pastry!

How To Make black cherry & mascarpone turnovers with cherry caramel drizzle

  • 1
    Prep for filling: 1- Heat medium sauce pan over medium heat. 2- Once pan is hot melt butter completely in pan. Add cherries and coat with butter 3-Add pinch of salt 4- Cherries will begin to sweat out their juice, in a measuring cup pour 1 1/2 cups of the juice out and set aside for later. 5- Add sugar, stir once then allow cherries to reduce on medium heat. Stir occasionally until cherries are reduced, lumpy and gooey, not stiff. 6- Take mascarpone out of fridge and let it come to room temperature. Do not add to cherry mixture, set aside for later use.
