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.

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!
