Lay a second sheet of phyllo dough over the top and brush with another 1/2 tablespoon butter. Cut into 24 pieces . Place into the prepared muffin pan. Repeat procedure with remaining phyllo sheets, placing the 2nd layer with alternating corner points in the pan. Bake in a 350? F. until phyllo dough is golden, about 4-6 minutes.

In a small saucepan, combine cherries, cornstarch, honey and lime juice. Combine well. Bring mixture to a boil and cook a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool (mixture will thicken more as it cools).
