fourths. Lightly roll each portion 1/8 inch thick and cut lengthwise into
5 inch wide strips. Use the strips immediately--do nt allow to dry. Place 2

inch intervals. Fold the strip in half lengthwise, covering the mounds of
filling. To seal, press the edges together with the tines of a fork. Press
gently between the mounds to form rectangles about 3 1/2 inches long. Cut
apart with a pastry cutter and press the cut edges with the tines of a fork
