3 tbsps. fresh lemon juice
1 cup water
⅓ cup granulated sugar
1 lb. sweet cherries (pitted and halved, about 3 cups)
3 tbps. canola oil
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Place cornstarch, lemon juice and sugar in a saucepan and whisk until cornstarch is dissolved. Add the cherries, turn heat to medium high, stirring, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer until the cherries have softened and the mixture has thickened, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Place one sheet of the phyllo on a clean, dry work surface and brush lightly with some of the oil. Layer another sheet on top. Cut the phyllo stack in half lengthwise. Spoon about ¼ cup of the cherry filling onto one of the phyllo stacks about 2 inches from the top. Fold the top corner of the phyllo stack over the filling to form a triangle shape pocket. Continue to fold the pocket down the strip of phyllo in a way that maintains the triangle shape. Repeat with another ¼ cup of filling and the second stack of phyllo, then brush the outside of each triangle lightly with oil. Repeat with remaining phyllo, filling and oil. Place turnovers on baking sheet. Bake until crisped and browned, about 20 minutes.
