In a large saucepan, whisk 4 tablespoons water, sugar,

salt until combined. Add cherries. Bring to a boil; cook
and stir until thickened, 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Set aside to cool.
Set oven @ 400ºF/205ºC.
On a lightly floured surface, roll half the dough to a
14x9-in. rectangle. Cut out eight 3 1/2 X 4 1/2"
rectangles. Repeat with remaining dough.
Transfer 8 rectangles to parchment-lined baking sheets;
spoon about 3 tablespoons cherry mixture in center of
each. Whisk egg and remaining 2 tablespoons water. Brush
edges of crust with egg wash. Top with remaining 8
rectangles; press edges with a fork to seal. Brush tops
with egg wash; cut slits in tops.
Bake until crust is golden brown and slightly puffed,
25-30 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
Combine confectioners' sugar, hot water, melted butter,
extracts and salt; drizzle over pies. Garnish with
freeze-dried strawberries if desired. Let stand until
set.
