CHERRY TURNOVERS

Steps:

• 1. Place clean, pitted cherries in saucepan along with 3/4 cups cane sugar and heat over medium heat until sugar melts and cherries soften, about 7 minutes. Add the lemon juice to the cornstarch and mix then add, while stirring, to the cherry mixture. There should be enough moisture from the cherries to enable the cornstarch to incorporate well, if not, then add a few tablespoons of water while stirring to avoid lumps. Cook on medium-low heat until the fruit liquid has turned clear. Remove from heat and set aside.
• 2. Make the crust mixing the flour and salt then cutting in the shortening until it resembles coarse meal or bread crumbs. Add the water, a little bit at a time until creating a mixture that holds together. Place the dough in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
• 3. Remove chilled dough, cut into fourths, and place one quarter on a floured board or mat. Roll or press out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into 4 inch diameter rounds, or the size of your choosing. Place cherry filling into the center of the round. There should be an inch of dough remaining around the filling for crimping. After filling, fold the pastry in half, moisten the edges with water or milk, press and crimp the edges.
• 4. Bake in preheated 400 degree F. oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Brushing with milk before baking will help the crust to darken, but these don't turn brown when done, they are like a shortbread crust, which turns only lightly golden when cooked.
• 5. Allow to cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar, if desired.

ARBY'S CHERRY TURNOVERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Kay out the puff pastry squares on an ungreased baking sheet. Cut puff pastry into 4 by 4-inch squares. Place about 2 tablespoons of pie filling into the center of each square. Ideally, there will be about 5 to 6 cherries in each turnover. Do not overfill too much as the filling may leak out while baking. Fold the turnover to make a triangle. "Glue" the triangle shut by brushing the egg wash on all the inside edges of the puff pastry but 1 inch in the center of each of the sides. This will allow the puff pastry to vent while cooking.
• Gently press the edges together, don't press the edges too hard, doing this will leave you with edges that won't puff as they should. Brush the top of the turnover with egg wash. Bake for 25 to 27 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Make the icing by combining the milk and the powdered sugar in a small bowl. Drizzle frosting over the turnovers.
• Store in an airtight container. These are best eaten within 1 or 2 days.
