  • About
Tarts and turnovers show up at parties, picnics and on the company dinner table, but they’re equally at home in family meals. And no pies come in greater variety of size, shape and fillings than these miniatures.

Turnovers serve a double purpose. Fill them with meat and they’re sandwiches (Ranchers’ Beef Turnovers). Bake fruit mixtures in them, they’re dessert. Cut the pastry in circles, fold, they’re half-moons; in squares, they’re pocketbooks. Try serving Mincemeat, Frosted Mincemeat or Date-Walnut Turnovers with coffee when you entertain at Christmastime. Our man-sized, husband-pleasing Raisin or Apple Turnovers are fine for family dinners. They’re mighty popular as lunch-box tuck-ins, too.
