Bake the trays one after the other in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for 12-14 minutes. Remove from the oven, place on a rack and allow to cool.

   In the meantime, pour the cherries into a sieve, drain well, collecting the juice. Stir 75 g icing sugar and 1-2 tablespoons cherry juice until smooth.

Stir pudding powder, sugar and 5 tablespoons of juice until smooth. Boil up the rest of the juice and stir in the pudding powder. Bring to the boil and simmer for about 1 minute while stirring. Remove from the heat and add the cherries. Leave to cool slightly. Then spread evenly on the bases of the puff pastry strips.
