Works with frozen peaches too. Just strain, thicken and sweeten juice, and add peaches, ....

Thanks much for sharing this recipe, one I need to keep on file so I can actually make it with fresh peaches next time around! Meanwhile, I did it up with canned peaches & was pleased with the results! With home grown, though, or with nice ripe peaches in season, this would be an even greater hit! Thanks for sharing this!

Perfect! I made my share of little errors because I had never made turnovers or used puff pastry before, but They came out wonderful! We have a peach tree in our yard but we fight many birds who come and peck at the fruit. This was a good way of using some of them and everyone loved them!

Love how super quick and easy these are to make! I normally do't make too many pastry based desserts as I find them a bit of a faff, but I love when recipes call for puff pastry; life is too short to make your own! The filling is delicious too, I had around 1/4 cup leftover, after making all my turnovers (I was wary about overfilling them!) so I served the leftover filling with the turnovers; delicious!
