PEAR AND CHEESE TURNOVERS WITH RAISINS
Yield: 24 servings

INGREDIENTS

6 pounds (3 quarts) Small-curd cottage cheese (not creamed)
5 pounds 4 ounces (3 quarts) Pacific Northwest Canned Pears, diced, well-drained
1 pound 8 ounces (1 quart) Raisins, plumped in hot water
12 ounces (1-1/2 cups) Brown sugar
1 tablespoon Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Salt
9 pounds Frozen bread dough, thawed
As needed (about 1-1/2 cups) Milk
As needed Granulated sugar

METHOD
Thoroughly combine cottage cheese, pears, raisins, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt; reserve. Scale dough into 48 pieces, 3 ounces each; roll each circle about 7" in diameter. For each circle, brush water around the edge. Place 1/2 cup reserved filling on half of circle; fold other half over. Fold edges together towards center, sealing tightly. (Flute, if desired.) Put on parchment-lined sheet. Repeat with remaining circles. Brush tops with milk. Sprinkle with granulated sugar. Cut a 1-inch slit into the top of each turner. Bake at 400º F until golden; about 15 minutes; cool.
