Ingredients

• ✓ sour cherry
• clementine
• pineapple chunk
• lemon juice
• fruit pectin
• white sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Inspect 3 pint-sized jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse jars in simmering water until marmalade is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
2. 2 Place clementines and zest in a food processor; blend until well mashed. Transfer to a medium saucepan. Repeat with the cherries and pineapple.
3. 3 Add lemon juice and pectin to the fruit in the saucepan. Mix and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir in sugar. Return to a boil and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
4. 4 Pack marmalade mixture into the hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 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. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
5. 5 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
6. 6 Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

Instructions

1. 1 Combine steak and cider in a Dutch oven. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until steak is tender, about 20 minutes.
2. 2 Remove steak to a cutting board; coarsely chop, then return to the pot.
3. 3 Stir in apples, currants, raisins, cherry preserves, 1 1⁄3 cups sugar, mixed fruit peel, and butter. Add ginger, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Simmer, uncovered, over low heat until mixture is very thick, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Stir in cherries and remove from heat.
4. 4 Transfer filling to a container and allow to cool at room temperature. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 days before using.
5. 5 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9-inch pie dish with 1 pastry crust.
6. 6 Spoon filling into crust and cover with second pastry crust. Crimp edges and cut several slits into top pastry. Brush with cream and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar.
7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pie should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Ingredients

• ✓ sour cherry
• water
• egg
• salt
• nutmeg
• almond extract
• cinnamon
• vanilla extract
• lemon juice
• cornstarch
• maple syrup
• ground cherry
• blueberry
• blackberry
• apple cider vinegar
• water
• butter
• salt
• maple syrup
• whole wheat flour

Instructions

1. 1 Combine flour, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and ½ teaspoon salt in the bowl of a food processor; pulse to combine. Add butter; pulse until mixture has the texture of coarse sand.
2. 2 Mix 9 tablespoons cold water and vinegar together in a small measuring cup; add ½ to the food processor and pulse a few times. Add remaining ½ vinegar mixture; pulse until dough slightly comes together. Divide dough in half; wrap each piece in plastic wrap and form into discs. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
3. 3 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil; place a 9-inch pie plate on top. Set aside.
4. 4 Combine sour cherries, blackberries, blueberries, and ground cherries in a large bowl. Whisk 1 cup maple syrup, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, almond extract, nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon salt together in a bowl until smooth; pour over berries and toss to combine. Set filling aside.
5. 5 Roll out 1 pie dough disc on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Place bottom crust in pie plate. Roll out remaining 1 pie dough disc into a 12-inch circle; cut into 1-inch strips. Pour filling into crust. Moisten the rim of the pie with a small amount of water. Start with the longest strips and lay the first 2 in an X in the center of the pie. Alternate horizontal and vertical strips, weaving them in an over-and-under pattern. Use the shortest strips for the edges of the lattice. Remove any excess overhanging dough; crimp edges to seal.
6. 6 Whisk egg and 1 tablespoon water together in a small bowl until well combined; lightly brush over pie crust. Cover edges of pie crust with aluminum foil to prevent overbrowning.
7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Remove the foil; continue baking until crust is golden and filling is bubbling, 30 to 40 minutes more. Cool completely before serving.
