The Pastry
2 cups All purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
1/2 cup cold water
The Kerchiefs
3 tablespoons dried cherries
1/2 cup kirsch, or rum
8 ounces quark (or whole milk ricotta if you don't have any quark)
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 egg yolks
1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg and cinnamon
pastry rolled to 1/4 inch thick, cut into 5 inch squares
1 egg beaten and mixed with 1 tbl. water for wash
1/2 cup or so cold water

1
Mix the flour and salt together in a bowl. Rub in the cold butter with your fingers until you can no longer see the butter.
2
Pour in a few tablespoons of the cold water until it is incorporated. Cautiously add a little more water until the dough comes together. Do not add too much water.
3
On a floured surface turn the dough out and knead it to form one large ball. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate 4 hours or better, overnight.
4
The night before soak the cherries in the kirsch or rum.
5
After the cherries have soaked, drain them. Mix them with the quark, sugar, yolks, zest, and spice. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
6
Roll the puff pastry out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut five inch squares out of this. Fill each square with 1 rounded tablespoon of the filling. Then brush the circumference of the squares with some cold water.
7
Fold the squares in half to create a triangular shape. Keep the filling inside. Press to seal. Brush the tops with the egg wash.
8
Slash the top of each kerchief with three cuts for venting. Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
