Hot Pepper Jelly Turnovers

From a Galveston-area church cookbook, these little gems are easy to make! Use red or green hot pepper jelly. Cooking time does not include time for dough to chill.

• Ready In: 1 hr
• Yields: 24 turnovers

Ingredients

• 1  cup flour
• 1 (5 ounce) jar cheese spread
• 1⁄2 cup margarine
• 1  tablespoon cold water
• 2  tablespoons  hot pepper jelly

Directions

1. Put flour in a bowl. Cut in cheese spread and margarine with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly.
2. Sprinkle cold water over flour mixture. Stir with a fork until moistened.
3. Shape into a ball. Cover and chill at least 4 hours.
4. Divide dough in half and keep one portion chilled. Roll remaining portion to 1/4 inch thick on a well-floured surface.
5. Cut into rounds with a 3-inch biscuit cutter.
6. Place 1/4 teaspoon jelly on the center of each round. Moisten edges with water. Fold in half and press edges with a fork to seal - make sure edges are well sealed!
7. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Repeat with remaining portion of dough.
8. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
