Strawberry Rhubarb Hibiscus Pop-Tarts

Ingredients

• Preserves
• Equal parts fruit and white sugar - cook stirring often until your mixture reaches 220 degrees Fahrenheit.  Cool fully, and then overnight to set before filling doughs.
• Pie dough

You can use American Pie dough (otherwise known as 3-2-1 dough) or store-bought dough

• 3-2-1 dough is 1 part water, 2 parts butter, 3 parts flour.
• You can add a pinch or two of salt and sugar for flavor.

Cut butter into small chunks. Add butter, flour, salt and sugar to the mixer and mix until it looks crumbly. Add water and mix only until it comes together. Knead into a ball, and let it rest for 2 hours or overnight so the gluten relaxes.

Roll this out as thin as you would for a pie, about the thickness of a quarter!

Cut the cough into your desired shape.

Egg wash one side

Put about 1 Tablespoon of jam in the center. Lay the second piece over and press together using your finger tips, then crimp with a fork.

You may trim the edges if you want.
