• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, fold together the ricotta, confectioners' sugar, egg yolk, vanilla, cinnamon, and cloves.
• Cut the 16 phyllo sheets lengthwise into 4 1/2-inch-wide strips. Cover with a barely damp towel while you work.
• Set a strip on a work surface, with the long side facing you, and brush the entire strip with melted butter. Sprinkle evenly with granulated sugar, then top with another strip.
• Brush the top with butter. Top with 1 tablespoon of the ricotta filling and 1 tablespoon of the cherries in the center about 1 inch from the left-side end. Gently pull the top left corner down, over the filling, to meet the bottom edge and form a triangle. Butter the top of the triangle.
• Now, gently grab the bottom left corner and lift it up to meet the top edge and wrap the triangle one more time.
• Brush the top with butter. Continue to fold the corners, as you would fold a flag, buttering every dry surface, until the sheet is completely folded into a large triangle. Transfer to 1 of the prepared baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining phyllo, butter, sugar and filling.
• Sprinkle the turnovers with granulated sugar. With a sharp paring knife, cut a small slit in the top of each turnover, taking care not to pierce through to the other side. Bake until puffed and deep golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle with honey to serve, if you like.

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.

Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
• Lay each puff pastry sheet flat and cut into quarters. Spoon some of the cherry mixture into the center of each pastry square. Wet your finger and dampen the entire edge of the puff pastry squares. Fold each square over to form a triangle and press gently to seal the edges. Brush the top with a little water and sprinkle with sugar. Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
• food trivia
• Cherries, both sweet and sour, originated in eastern Europe and western Asia, and that region still produces most of the cherries in the world. In the United States (also a big cherry-producing nation), sweet cherries are grown mostly in California, Oregon, and Washington; Michigan produces most of our sour cherries.

CHERRY TURNOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, using a rolling pin, roll out each sheet of dough, still folded into a rectangle about 10 by 14 inches (trim edges straight with a pizza cutter or knife). Cut each rectangle into quarters to form 8 small rectangles.
• In a medium bowl, combine cherries, flour, granulated sugar, and lemon juice; toss to coat. Mound cherry mixture on one side of each rectangle, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Lightly brush border with water; fold other side of pastry over cherry mixture, and press edges firmly to seal. With a floured fork, crimp edges.
• Transfer turnovers to a baking sheet. With a paring knife, cut 3 to 4 slits in the top of each turnover. Brush tops with egg wash, and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
• Bake until turnovers are golden and puffed, and filling is bubbling, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
