"Crispy, sugardusted wonton wrappers cache a sweet chewy filling of fruit
and nuts, adding a perfect touch to the end of the meal." For filling, in a
medium bowl toss together pears, apples, cherries and lemon juice. In a
large skillet cook fruit mixture in 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat 7
minutes. Reduce heat. Stir in Marsala, nuts, cinnamon and ginger. Cook 3
minutes or until liquid has disappeared stirring often. Stir in syrup; set
aside. For each wonton spoon 2 teaspoons filling into the center of a
wrapper. Lightly moistened edges of wrapper with water. Fold top edge of
wrapper over filling to opposite edge making halfmoon. Press edges
together to seal. Arrange wontons on a greased baking sheet. Brush with the
melted butter. Sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake at 350F 1215 minutes or
until golden. Cool slightly. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Makes 36
wontons. Better Homes and Gardens, "Good things in small packages", January
