With a sharp knife, make 1 or 2 small openings on the top of each turnover. Brush the top and sides of the turnovers with the egg wash. Once the turnovers are cold, mix the milk or cream with the remaining egg wash.Place the turnovers onto a lined tray and chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Fold the dough over to create a triangle and match up the tips.Place about a tablespoon of the compote into the center.Using a pastry brush apply the egg wash around the perimeter of the square. In a small bowl, beat the egg and 1 Tbsp.Using a sharp knife, cut the puff pastry into 4 squares.Place a heaping tablespoon or two of cherry. Once the compote has cooked, add the cornstarch a bit at a time while stirring. Use cherry pie filling to make cherry pie, to fill turnovers, or as a cheesecake topping. Unwrap both of the puff pastry doughs and cut into 8 squares (4 from each dough). Cover with foil or parchment a cookie sheet, making sure it’s completely covered. Simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the cherries soften slightly. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before baking your fully baked pie. Place the cherries, juice and sugar into a heavy-bottomed pot and heat over medium.And now that I am fresh out, it’s time to go to the store and get some more! Only this time, they’ll be for snacking. Only, as soon as the turnovers were baked and eaten, as were most of my leftover cherries, I realized I was almost fresh out. The compote, warm with juicy cooked cherries, oozed out of the flaky layers of pastry, and each layer gave a satisfying crackle as it was devoured. After it was wrapped in squares of puff pastry dough, popped in the oven and ready to eat, these turnovers were pure bliss in a baked good. This compote, made with a hint of orange juice, sugar and cornstarch, was a cinch to whip up. But instead of savoring them as a snack, I was envisioning a baked breakfast treat with warm Bing cherry compote… Since this is such a fond memory and we’ve never had cherries at home in California, I was so happy to find them for only $1.99/lb. She excitedly pulls out a big bag, sets out a little dish for our pits, and we lean against the kitchen counters for a while, catching up over the sweet little snack. Whenever my husband and I visit his parents in New Jersey, his mother always has Bing cherries in her fridge.
