Blueberry turnovers

So Calvert has a dream. You know those dirt-cheap fruit pies that you can get 7-Eleven? His dream is that someone should make a device that allows you to squirt the filling into the pie shell, so you could have whatever filling you want.

It's a good dream, and ever since he mentioned it, I've been trying to figure out exactly how to do it. Well. Turns out that there's a recipe for pretty much just that hiding in The Pie and Pastry Bible. Their fruit turnovers aren't made with puff pastry, but rather with a pie crust shell, which makes them very much like the ones at the 7-Eleven, only better.

So these were pretty successful, although the blueberry gunk leaked out through the vent holes, but that was just cosmetic. They might have been even better with the simple sugar frosting, but we can try that next time.
