Fruit Turnovers

Stew half a pound of any desired fruit with three ounces of sugar until nearly all the juice is absorbed, and set it aside to cool. Make some puff paste with half a pound of flour, and other ingredients in proportion (see PUFF PASTE, HOUSEHOLD), roll it out thin, and stamp it out into rounds. Lay some of the stewed fruit on the half of each round, turn the other half over, and press the edges together, wetting them with a little water or white of egg to make them stick. Bake in a moderate oven for fifteen to twenty minutes.
