Ingredients

• ✓ dark cherry
• egg
• water
• cream cheese
• white sugar
• lemon juice
• puff pastry
• black walnut
• confectioners sugar
• milk
• vanilla extract

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. 2 For the strudel, mix egg and water together in a bowl. Set aside.
3. 3 Beat cream cheese, sugar, and lemon juice together in another bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.
4. 4 Roll each pastry sheet into a 12x16-inch rectangle. Spread 1/2 of the cream cheese mixture down the center of a long side of each rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border at the top and bottom. Top each cream cheese layer with 1/2 of the cherries and 1/2 of the walnuts.
5. 5 Fold opposite long ends of each pastry sheet over filling, brushing edges with reserved egg mixture to seal. Tuck short ends underneath, and place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Make several diagonal cuts over strudels to vent filling. Brush the tops of strudels with egg wash.
6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Cool strudels on baking sheet set on a wire rack, at least 30 minutes.
7. 7 For the glaze, whisk confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until desired thickness. Drizzle over strudels.

• salt
• pepper
• all-purpose flour
• white sugar
• cornstarch
• orange
• almond

Instructions

1. 1 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then coat with flour. Fry in hot oil until browned, turning as needed. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook until meat is tender and juices run clear, about 25 minutes.
2. 2 Remove chicken from the skillet; pour off all but 1/4 cup drippings. Return the skillet to medium heat and stir in cherries, reserving some cherry liquid for later. Stir in sugar and bring to a boil. Dissolve cornstarch in reserved cherry liquid, then stir into the skillet. Cook, stirring gently, until thickened.
3. 3 Add orange slices and almonds to the skillet, then return chicken pieces to the skillet. Spoon sauce over chicken to coat; simmer over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
