Instructions
Drain cherries, reserving juice. If necessary, add enough water to juice to measure 3/4 cup. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; whisk in juice until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
Remove from the heat. Set aside 16 cherries.
Cut remaining cherries in half and add to sauce; set aside.
Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface; cut into six 4-in. squares. Discard trimmings. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent drying out.) On a baking sheet, layer phyllo squares, brushing with butter between each.
Cut diagonally through dough from each corner 1-1/2 in. toward the center.
Place a whole cherry between each cut; fold alternating points over cherries and toward the center.
Brush with butter. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets, cherries and butter.
Bake at 375° for 8-9 minutes or until golden brown.
