Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Place butter in a shallow bowl and set aside until needed for kneading.
  3. 3 Place marshmallows in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high to start melting the marshmallows, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  4. 4 Carefully stir water and vanilla into hot marshmallows; stir until the mixture is smooth.
  5. 5 Slowly beat in confectioners' sugar, 1 cup at a time, until you have a sticky dough. Reserve 1 cup confectioners' sugar for kneading. The dough will be very stiff.
  6. 6 Rub your hands thoroughly with butter and begin kneading the sticky dough. As you knead, the dough will become workable and pliable. Turn the dough out onto a working surface dusted with confectioners' sugar and continue kneading until the fondant is smooth and no longer sticky to the touch, 5 to 10 minutes.
  7. 7 Form the fondant into a ball, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
  8. 8 To use, allow the fondant to come to room temperature and roll it out onto a flat surface dusted with confectioners' sugar.

Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Whisk egg yolks in a small heavy saucepan until light lemon yellow and slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Whisk in1 to 1½ tablespoons lemon juice, depending on how tart you like your sauce.
  3. 3 Add 2 tablespoons cold butter to egg mixture. Place the pan over very low heat and whisk constantly until butter melts and mixture thickens enough to see the bottom of the pan between strokes. (If the mixture starts to thicken too quickly or look grainy, remove it from the heat and whisk in 1 teaspoon cold water.)
  4. 4 Remove the pan from heat. Whisk in remaining cold butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until incorporated and smooth.
  5. 5 Gradually whisk in the melted butter, adding just a few drops at first, then a slow, steady stream. Keep whisking vigorously to create a thick, smooth sauce. (If sauce becomes too thick, whisk in 1 teaspoon warm water at a time until you reach the desired consistency.)
  6. 6 Season with salt and white pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Instructions

  1. 1 Inspect four 32-ounce jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jelly is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  2. 2 Crush boysenberries in a large bowl with the back of a spoon or a potato masher. Add crushed fruit into a sieve or cheesecloth set over a bowl and let juices drip into the bowl until dripping stops. Press gently to get as much juice out of berries as possible. Measure 4 cups juice into a large pot. If necessary, add up to 1/2 cup water to get the exact amount of juice.
  3. 3 Stir sugar into juice in the pot; add butter to reduce foaming. Bring mixture to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in pectin quickly. Return to a full boil and boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
  4. 4 Skim off any foam with a metal spoon. Ladle quickly into the prepared jars, filling within 1/8 inch of the tops.
  5. 5 Place a rack into the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover the jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 5 minutes.
  6. 6 Remove the jars from water and cool. Let stand at room temperature for 24 hours.

Instructions

  1. 1 Gather the ingredients.
  2. 2 Measure flour into the processor with the regular blade attached. Add chilled and cubed shortening and unsalted butter. Add salt, close the lid, and pulse three times with three counts per pulse to lightly mix the ingredients.
  3. 3 With the motor running, pour ice water into the food processor bowl just until the dough just starts to get noticeably crumbly. Don't wait until it is a big clump or it will be way too wet and will turn out tough.
  4. 4 Transfer the crumbly dough into a bowl, and form it into a ball with your hand, squeezing it a bit to make it stick together. If it just won't form a ball, add a tiny bit more water.
  5. 5 Wrap dough in wax paper or plastic wrap; chill dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before using in your favorite pie recipe.
