1. For filling, in a medium bowl toss together pears, apples, cherries, and lemon juice. In a large skillet cook fruit mixture in the 2 Tbsp. butter or margarine over medium heat about 7 minutes. Reduce heat; stir in Marsala or apple juice, nuts, cinnamon and ginger. Cook for 3 minutes more or until liquid has evaporated, stirring often. Stir in syrup; set aside.
2. For each wonton, spoon about 2 tsp. filling into the center of a wrapper. Lightly moisten edges of wrapper with water. Fold top edge of wrapper over filling to opposite edge, making a half-moon. Press edges together to seal.
