Pear Mincemeat Turnovers

• Filling:
• 3/4 cup bottled mincemeat
• 1/2 cup coarsely chopped peeled ripe pear
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pear nectar or apple juice
• 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon rind
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
• Pastry:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
• 6 tablespoons ice water
• 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
• Remaining ingredients:
• 2 tablespoons 1% low-fat milk, divided
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1. To prepare filling, combine first 5 ingredients; set aside.
2. To prepare pastry, lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine 1/2 cup flour, ice water, and vinegar, stirring with a whisk until well blended to form a slurry. Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, powdered sugar, and salt in a bowl; cut in shortening with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add slurry; toss with a fork until moist. Gently press mixture into a 4-inch circle.
3. Place dough on 2 sheets of slightly overlapping plastic wrap on a slightly damp surface. Cover dough with 2 additional sheets of plastic wrap. Roll dough, still covered, into a 16 x 12-inch rectangle. Slide dough onto a baking sheet; place in freezer 10 minutes or until the plastic wrap can be easily removed. (Keep chilled until ready to use.)
4. Preheat oven to 400u0b0.
5. Remove top sheets of plastic wrap. Place dough, plastic wrap side up, on a flat surface. Remove remaining sheets of plastic wrap. Cut pastry into 12 (4-inch) squares. Place about 1 tablespoon filling into center of each square. Moisten the edges of squares with 1 tablespoon milk; bring 2 opposite corners together. Press edges together with a fork to seal, forming a triangle. Place triangles on a large baking sheet. Brush tops with 1 tablespoon milk; sprinkle evenly with granulated sugar. Bake at 400u0b0 for 18 minutes or until golden. Serve warm or at room temperature.
