Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, bring the cherries, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon and cornstarch to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Continue to boil for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate to cool completely.
  3. On a heavily floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a 15-inch square.
  4. Using a pastry wheel, pizza cutter or very sharp knife, cut the square into 9 five-inch squares.
  5. Place about 2 tablespoons of the cooled filling just off center of each square.
  6. Fold the squares over corner-to-corner to form a triangle.
  7. Seal the edges by pressing around the turnover with a fork. Carefully place each turnover on to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  9. Preheat your oven to 375.
  10. Brush the tops of each turnover with the egg wash and sprinkle with a bit of turbinado sugar.
  11. Bake the turnovers for 20 to 25 minutes or until they are puffed and golden.
  12. Remove and cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes. Serve warm.
