Ingredients
  

  • 1 jar sour cherries
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1¼ cups milk
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 package (10 oz) puff pastry refrigerated
  • ½ cup dark chocolate optional
  • 2 tbsp butter optional

Instructions
 

  • Drain the sour cherries and collect the juice in a bowl. Take a little of the cherry juice and mix it with the cornstarch. Bring the remaining cherry juice to a boil in a saucepan and add the cherry juice-cornstarch mixture. Cook until thickened, then fold in the cherries and let the mixture cool.
  • Prepare the vanilla pudding mix with milk and sugar according to the package directions and let the finished pudding cool.
  • Whisk the egg in a bowl.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread the puff pastry on a baking sheet and cut into 8 even squares.
  • Place a spoonful of pudding and cherry mixture in the center of each square.
  • Fold the squares diagonally into triangles. Press the edges firmly with a fork. Brush the surface with the egg.
  • Bake your turnovers for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Once the cherry pastries have cooled slightly, melt the chocolate with the butter in a double boiler and brush the finished pastries with the glaze as desired.
