Fruit Turnovers

Hey everyone, Jamie made a great dessert tonight and we thought we would share.  Simply and easy and we had everything already- that is my favorite kind of recipe.  We have been wondering if anyone has tried any of our recipes so far and what your results were...good, bad, indifferent?  We would love to hear it.

This recipe came from one of the many cookbooks Jamie owns.  This one is her favorite because it was signed by her idol Paula Deen.  The book is Paula Deens My First Cookbook.

Fruit Turnovers

1 can of refrigerated biscuits (10 biscuits)
1 15 ounce can of fruit
1/2 cup of white sugar mixed with 1 tsp cinnamon
2 TBSP butter cut into 10 pieces
1 cup confectioners sugar
1 1/2 TBSP milk

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Put parchment paper on cookie sheet.  Pat each biscuit into a 4 inch circle.  Drain the liquid from the fruit and chop the fruit into little pieces- we used strawberries.
Place about 1 tablespoon of chopped fruit in the middle of each biscuit.  Sprinkle with a little less than a teaspoon of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.  Dot each with a piece of butter.  Shape each biscuit into a semi circle by folding one side over to match the other side.  Press with a fork all around the edge to seal.  Transfer to cookie sheet.  Bake the pies for 10 to 12 minutes
Mix the confectioners sugar and milk together until smooth, dribble icing on pies.

Jamie was able to completely do this recipe without any assistance from mom.  I was so proud of her (and I enjoyed eating them :^) 

Jamie's turn:
It was yummy.  The best part was the fruit.  It was fun to make especially from my first Paula Deen cookbook.  School is doing great.  Working for my taks test.  I lost a tooth and the tooth fairy came to see me last night.  I got a dollar.  Sisters birthday this weekend and we are going to the Melting Pot. Has anyone been there before.  We are excited about the fondue-we love it. Bye bye!
