Instructions

  1. 1 Combine about 4 inches water and lemon juice in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot). Add apples as you slice them to avoid browning.
  2. 2 Drain lemon water from Instant Pot; stir brown sugar, white sugar, honey, apple juice, cinnamon sticks, and ground cloves into apples in Pot. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 8 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  3. 3 Release pressure using the natural-release method according to the manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Remove and discard cinnamon sticks.
  4. 4 Purée apple butter with an immersion blender until smooth; stir well with a spoon. Close and lock the lid. Select Slow Cooker function according to the manufacturer's instructions. Set the timer for 60 minutes.
  5. 5 Release pressure using the natural-release method according to the manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Check consistency by dropping a small spoonful of apple butter onto a plate. Refrigerate 10 minutes; if apple butter appears to be thick enough to spread with a knife, it is ready. Continue cooking if apple butter appears too thin and runny, 1 hour more.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place chopped apples, water, and chopped lemon in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until fruit is very soft and collapsed, about 30 minutes.
  2. 2 Strain apple mixture through a fine-mesh-sieve into a bowl to separate liquid from pulp and seeds. Press with the back of a wooden spoon or spatula to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard pulp and seeds. You should have about 1 ½ cups pectin purée. A bit more or less will work fine.
  3. 3 Place hulled strawberries in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until puréed, about 1 minute. Transfer to a saucepan; attach a candy thermometer to the saucepan. Add pectin purée; stir in 1 cup sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat; reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 15 minutes. Skim off foam. Adjust heat, if necessary, to ensure mixture is always simmering without boiling over. Stir in remaining 1 ¼ cups sugar.
  4. 4 Cook, stirring often, until mixture reaches 220 degrees F (105 degrees C), 50 to 60 minutes. Off heat, whisk in lemon juice.
  5. 5 Meanwhile, inspect three 8-ounce jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  6. 6 Pack into hot, sterilized jars while jam is still hot, filling to within ¼ inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Cool to room temperature uncovered. Tops with lids and screw rings on tightly. Refrigerate before serving to allow sugar and pectin to thicken jam, 1 to 2 days.

  3. 3 Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a 5x14-inch rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Cut into 28 half-inch wide strips. Twist two strips together and pinch the ends to seal. Repeat with remaining strips. Cover with a clean cloth and let rest for 15 minutes.
  4. 4 Heat 2 inches oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Set a wire rack over a baking sheet. Pour some of the cold syrup into a bowl; return remaining syrup to the refrigerator.

Instructions

  1. 1 Whisk together 4 cups flour, white sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl until well combined; set aside.
  2. 2 Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Pour in milk and heat until warm, about 110 degrees F (43 degrees C).
  3. 3 Place beaten eggs in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in about 1/3 of the butter-milk mixture, then return egg mixture back into remaining butter-milk mixture in the saucepan. Stir in lemon zest. Pour mixture into flour mixture; stir until thoroughly combined.
  4. 4 Mix in remaining 2 cups flour to make a soft dough; turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes. Place dough into an oiled bowl and turn dough to coat with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Punch down dough and allow to rest for 10 more minutes.
  5. 5 Divide dough in half and roll each half into a round ball. Roll out a ball on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Place a drinking glass face down into the center of the circle to prevent cutting dough too far into the center. Use a knife to cut dough into quarters, from the edge of the dough circle to the rim of the glass. Cut each quarter into 5 narrow wedge-shaped strips, leaving the center of dough uncut. Remove the drinking glass. There will be 20 narrow wedge-shaped strips surrounding the uncut center of dough.
  6. 6 Pick up 2 adjacent strips and twist them together about 4 times; pinch the ends of the 2 pieces together at the top. Gently coil to form a rough flower shape. Arrange round into the middle of the circle, where the drinking glass was.
  7. 7 Pick up 2 more adjacent strips; twist and pinch them as before and coil them into a rough round. Arrange a new petal next to the center rosette. Repeat with remaining 16 strips, twisting and pinching them in twos and coiling and arranging them into 8 more petals around the center rosette. The finished bread will have 9 petals surrounding the center round. Repeat steps with remaining dough ball to make 2 breads.
  8. 8 Grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper. Place shaped breads onto the prepared baking sheet, reshaping them into rounds if needed. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and place in a warm spot to rise until almost doubled, 30 to 45 minutes.
  9. 9 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Beat egg yolk with water in a small bowl until well mixed and brush over both breads.
  10. 10 Bake in the preheated oven until breads are golden brown, about 25 minutes. Allow to cool.
  11. 11 Use your fingers to gently deepen the indentations in the center of each petal, filling each with about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon raspberry jam.
  12. 12 Mix together confectioners' sugar and lemon juice in a bowl to form a glaze; drizzle glaze in thin lines all over both breads. Allow glaze to set. To serve, pull petals apart.
