Welcome viewers and introduce the recipe for mixed berry turnovers.

Prepare 5 cups of mixed berries by destemming and roughly chopping strawberries, adding frozen blackberries if needed.

Measure out 5 cups of mixed berries and add to a pot.

Add 1/2 cup of sugar to the pot with the berries and stir.

Place the pot on the stove and bring the mixture to a simmer to soften the fruit.

Add 2 teaspoons of lemon juice to the berry mixture.

Roll out store-bought puff pastry and cut into 6 equal squares.

Mash the simmered berry mixture to break down larger pieces of fruit.

Prepare a cornstarch slurry with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water.

Bring the berry mixture to a good simmer and gradually add the cornstarch slurry to thicken it, stirring carefully.

Turn off the burner once the mixture has thickened and prepare to fill the pastries.

Fill each square of puff pastry with the berry filling and fold over to create a turnover.

Crimp the edges of the turnovers to seal them.

Make an egg wash by whisking 1 egg with a little water.

Brush the tops of the turnovers with the egg wash and sprinkle with organic sugar.

Cut slits in the tops of the turnovers to allow steam to escape during baking.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the turnovers for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

After baking, let the turnovers cool before preparing the icing.

Make a glaze by mixing powdered sugar with cream and any leftover berry mixture, whisking until smooth.

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled turnovers and serve.
