seconds. Roll out into a rectangle 1/4" thick and cover with 1-1/4 cup
cherries. roll up like a jelly roll and cut into 6 pieces with a sharp
knife. Place cut side down in a greased shallow baking pan. Brush with
milk and bake in 450F oven for 12-15 minutes or until done. Mix the sugar
and cornstarch and stir in the cherry juice slowly. cook until it
thickens; add remaining cherries. Add more sugar if desired. Serve warm on
the pinwheels with ice cream or sherbet. 6 servings.
