I do like to spoil my husband at the weekends. These fabulous turnovers are a wonderful way to do just that. Simple to make and oh so delicious, they always go down a real treat with him!
These are very simple to make, using store bought all butter puff pastry, a bit of jam and some cream cheese. Things I usually have in my refrigerator, larder and freezer.
Sigh . . . I do love a good cherry or strawberry danish. Actually I'm not picky. I love any kind of danish pastry . . .
As you know I can be rather lazy at times, so you know also that this recipe is quick and easy as well as being delicious. Your sweetie pie will think you slaved over a hot oven all day to make these, but truth be known . . .
in not much more than half an hour you can be feasting on these delicious little treats. I kid you not! Don't be tempted to overfill them . . . you will experience blow out if you do. They still taste really good, but they are not as pretty. Or are they??? I suppose it is all a matter of taste and perception. I had some blow out and they still looked mighty tasty to me. Hard to resist . . . far too hard to resist.
