Stack 2 strips, one on top of the other. Spoon 1 tablespoon cherry-apple
mixture onto one end of each stack; fold the left bottom corner over
mixture, forming a triangle. Keep folding back and forth into a triangle to
the end. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Place the triangles, seam side

Bake at 400 deg for 15 minutes or until golden.

Combine reserved cherry-apple juice and cornstarch in a small saucepan;
stir well. Bring to a boil, and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Yield:
6 servings (serving size: 2 turnovers, 1 tablespoon sauce, and 1 teaspoon
almonds).
