Ingredients  
All-purpose flour, for work surface    
14  ounces best-quality frozen puff pastry (such as Dufour), thawed     
 3 small or 2 medium Bartlett pears (about 1 pound 2 ounces), peeled, 
halved, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch slices    
2  ounces dried sour cherries    
1/3  cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
