Rhubarb & Wild Blueberry Hand Pies Recipe
Updated June 2025
Chef’s Tips:
* The fruit mixture can be enjoyed as a jam or compote, just omit the cornstarch and butter and reduce until you reach your desired consistency.
* Pastries can be frozen raw, and then baked from frozen, adding about 5 more minutes of baking time.
* Instead of blueberries, you can substitute the same amount of our Farm Boy™ Berry Blend.
* For a different spin, you can add a Tbsp of Farm Boy™ Original Goat Cheese to each hand pie as you are assembling them.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups diced rhubarb
- ¼ cup granulated sugar plus more for dusting
- 1 cup Farm Boy™ Wild Nova Scotia Blueberries
- ½ tsp Farm Boy™ Organic Cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp Farm Boy™ Cornstarch (454 g) mixed with 2 Tbsp water
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 pack Farm Boy™ Butter Puff Pastry (450 g) thawed overnight in fridge
- 1 Farm Boy™ Omega-3 Egg mixed with 1 Tbsp water for egg wash
Directions
- In a medium saucepan, combine rhubarb with 1 Tbsp water and sugar and set over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook, covered, stirring occasionally until rhubarb is soft, about 5-6 minutes.
- Stir in Farm Boy™ Wild Nova Scotia Blueberries, Farm Boy™ Organic Cinnamon, and lemon juice and cook, covered, until blueberries soften, about 3 minutes.
- In a small bowl, make a slurry with Farm Boy™ Cornstarch and 2 Tbsp cold water. Add to fruit mixture and cook until mixture boils and thickens, about 1-2 minutes longer. Stir in butter. Spread the mixture on a plate and allow to cool completely.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Unfold Farm Boy™ Butter Puff Pastry and working with one sheet at a time, gently roll pastry to an even thickness. Cut each sheet into 4 squares.
- In a small bowl, whisk Farm Boy™ Omega-3 Egg with 1 Tbsp water for egg wash. Set aside.
- Divide rhubarb-blueberry mixture amongst pastry squares, spooning into the centre. Brush edges of each square lightly with egg wash using a pastry brush. Fold pastry over, and seal by pressing with the tines of a fork. Arrange pastries on sheet pan, spacing 2 inches apart.
- Brush tops of pastries with egg wash and cut two slits on top of each pastry to allow for steam to escape. Sprinkle each pastry with a bit of sugar.
- Bake for 16-20 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Remove from oven and place sheet pans on cooling racks. Cool completely and enjoy.
