Bandwidth is a biochemist and a self-taught cook. After watching many episodes of Iron Chef, he came up with a way to gild store-bought pastries.
This is a simple winter dessert that takes minutes, yet it looks like you've spent hours in the kitchen.
Bandwidth's Cherry Turnovers
4 Bakery turnovers (you can make your own with puff pastry sheets and add cherry preserves or buy frozen Pepperidge Farm turnovers).
fresh Cherries, approx 2 c
Rinse and pit cherries. Place in pan with 2 c water and 1/2 c sugar. Simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until mixture thickens slightly. Add more sugar if necessary.
Spoon fruit and sauce over turnovers. Add whipped cream or ice cream if you dare.

I am not a fan of cherries (go figure) but my husband is. He would love this dessert. Hmmmm, maybe for Valentine's Day? BTW, I received your book and started reading it last night. Love all the recipes like my Grandmother used. --Delores
ReplyDeleteOh yummmm! These look amazing & now I need to make a quick trip to the grocery store! He's a genius!!! ☺♥☺
ReplyDeleteI don't believe I've ever gazed at photos of food with the lust I do when I look at your photos!
ReplyDeleteThat looks just yummy. I havn't done turnovers in a long time. I have to try this. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteUm, that looks so good.
ReplyDeleteI used to walk right past the bakery section at the groc. store, never thinking of buying their products and giving them a facelift. I had bigger plans, to make my OWN puff pastry...like that was going to happen! Thanks for waking me up!
ReplyDeleteI love these quick easy steps.
ReplyDeleteSo simple but looks delicious and
great presentation at the table.
Doesn't get any better than this!
Yummy!
ReplyDelete(like you have not heard that before...LOL)
Nonetheless there are some delectable goodies that simply cause one to ...
have rumblings in the tummy!
(in a good, way...LOL)
I wish I had my very on Bandwidth...these look delicious.
ReplyDeleteI wish not approve on it. I think polite post. Especially the appellation attracted me to review the intact story.
ReplyDeleteMercy that looks good! And on a side note.....did you know.....one of the yummiest cherry turnovers I have ever had....believe it or not.....comes from ARBY'S drive-thru! Served hot, with a little icing glaze, and oh so tasty with a hot cup of coffee!!! Oh, and it only costs a buck!
ReplyDeleteIcing would have been divine. I'll tell Bandy.
ReplyDeleteBandwidth, I think you've missed your calling!!! Join the big bro in the kitchen!

So beautiful, Michael! I thought of licking the monitor, but decided that might seem silly (and probably not particularly tasty). ;)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely have to file this away in the stunning shortcuts file!

Oh, my! The turnovers look delish. My mother loves cherry turnovers and I'll have to make these for her the next time she comes to visit.
ReplyDeleteI wish my son would cook for me -- he did go buy me a cherry limeade at Sonic today, though! LOL!
YUM! I'm tellin' ya, Bandwith has a standing invitation at my house! laurie
