Fried Strawberry Rhubarb Peanut Butter Pockets

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Fried Strawberry Rhubarb Peanut Butter Pockets.

1. Step 1

   In a saucepan set over high heat, combine diced rhubarb, white sugar, lemon juice, honey, and water.

2. Step 2

   Stir the mixture as it cooks, allowing the rhubarb to soften into a delightful pulp, which should take about 5 to 10 minutes.

3. Step 3

   Once the rhubarb is tender, introduce the sliced strawberries and continue cooking until they break down and most of the liquid evaporates, roughly 5 minutes.

4. Step 4

   Remove the saucepan from heat and let the jam cool for about 10 minutes.

5. Step 5

   Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

6. Step 6

   Using a 1/2 tablespoon measure, scoop out 14 portions of the cooled jam and 14 portions of peanut butter, placing them on the prepared baking sheet.

7. Step 7

   Cover the sheet with plastic wrap and freeze until solid, which will take about 3 hours or can be left overnight for convenience.

8. Step 8

   On a lightly floured surface, roll out the crescent roll dough, ensuring to press the seams together.

9. Step 9

   Use a rolling pin to gently flatten the dough, then cut out 28 circles with a 2-inch cookie cutter.

10. Step 10

    Arrange these circles on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

11. Step 11

    In the center of 14 dough circles, place one portion of jam and one portion of peanut butter.

12. Step 12

    Top each with a second dough circle, rolling up the edges of the bottom circle and crimping to seal the pockets securely.

13. Step 13

    Arrange the filled pockets on another baking sheet and freeze until firm.

14. Step 14

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350°F (175°C).

15. Step 15

    Fry the crescent pockets in batches of three, using a wooden spoon to flip them continuously until they achieve a golden brown hue, which should take about 1 minute per side.

16. Step 16

    Once fried, transfer the pockets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

    Enjoy the sweet and savory delight of your homemade treats!.
