BLUEBERRY CHERRY PIE

Steps:

• Mix sugar, flour, and cinnamon in large bowl. Add fruit. Add lemon juice, and stir well.
• Pour into a 9 inch unbaked pie shell. Dot with the butter or margarine. Cover with top crust and flute edges. Cut small slits in the top.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 1 hour. I put a baking sheet under mine to catch any liquid that might bubble over.

CHERRY BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, gently combine cherries and blueberries. In a small bowl, mix sugar, flour and nutmeg; stir into fruit. Let stand 10 minutes., Preheat oven to 425°. On a lightly floured surface, roll one half of the dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim pastry to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate. Add filling; dot with butter., Roll remaining dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; cut into 1/2-in.-wide strips. Arrange over filling in a lattice pattern. Trim and seal strips to edge of bottom pastry; flute edge. Sprinkle with additional sugar. Cover edge loosely with foil., Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven setting to 350°. Bake 30-35 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack.

CHERRY-BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Press one of the pie crusts into a 9 inch pie plate. In a large bowl, stir together 1/2 cup of sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon. Stir in the cherry pie filling and blueberries. Spoon into the pie crust. Top with the second crust, and press the edges to seal. Flute edges, or press with the tines of a fork. In a cup, whisk together the egg white and water with a fork. Brush over the top of the pie, then sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of sugar.
• Bake for 45 to 55 minutes in the preheated oven, or until crust is golden brown. Cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil if they appear to be getting too dark. Cool for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set before serving.

CHERRY PIE

Steps:

• First, make the pastry. Tip the flour, 50g almonds, butter, sugar and ¼ tsp salt into a food processor. Blend until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Beat the egg yolks with 2 tbsp cold water, drizzle over the flour and butter mixture and blend again until the dough starts to clump together. Tip onto a work surface and knead briefly to bring everything together into a smooth dough. Divide into two pieces and shape each lump into a puck shape. Wrap and chill for 30 mins. Will keep, wrapped and chilled, for up to two days.
• Remove the stones from the cherries - either cut them in half and pop out each stone, or use a cherry stoner. Toss the cherries with the jam, sugar and cornflour until there are no floury patches.
• If the pastry has been chilled for longer than 30 mins, bring it out of the fridge 20 mins or so before rolling, as it will be very firm. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Dust a surface with a little flour, then unwrap one piece of pastry. Carefully roll it out until it's large enough to line the base and sides of a 25cm pie dish, skillet pan or cake tin. The pastry will be very delicate, if any cracks appear when rolling, squash them back together and keep going. Lift the pastry over the rolling pin and into the dish - don't worry if it breaks, just patch it up by pushing it into the corners and up the sides and closing any holes. There should be a little overhang around the edges. Sprinkle the reserved 2 tbsp almonds over the base, then spread the cherries on top to fill the pie in an even layer.
• Roll out the remaining pastry so it's large enough to cover the pie. Brush a little beaten egg white around the pastry edge. Top the pie with the pastry lid as it is (piercing a hole in the centre for the steam to escape), or make a lattice topping. To do this, cut the pastry into strips, however wide you like. Arrange half the strips in one direction over the pie, leaving a few centimetres gap between each. Weave the remaining strips under and over these in the opposite direction, creating a lattice pattern. Squash the pastry together around the edge, then trim the excess with a sharp knife.
• Crimp the edge for a neat finish, or use any pastry scraps to make shapes to run around the edge - we used a piping nozzle to cut small circles. Stick them on with a little more egg wash, then brush the whole pie with a thin layer of egg wash. Sprinkle over a little caster sugar. Bake for 55 mins-1 hr, checking the pie after 40 mins. The edges may brown more quickly than the centre, if this happens, wrap a little kitchen foil around the edge to protect it.
• Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 1 hr. If you cut it too soon, the fruit juice will be very runny and flood the pie. Best served just warm with cream or ice cream.

CHERRY-BERRY STREUSEL PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• FILLING: Combine sugar, cornstarch and salt in a mixing bowl.
• Drain cherries, pouring 1/4 cup of the juice into a small bowl or measuring cup. Set the cherries aside. Add almond extract and vanilla to the juice in the cup.
• Add the liquid to the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl and mix well. Add the butter and use the back of a fork to smoosh it up into smaller pieces that will spread themselves around the mixture.
• Stir in the cherries and let the mixture stand for 15 minutes. While it's sitting there, taunting you, make the streusel:.
• STREUSEL: Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl, then add the butter and vanilla. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture looks crumbly - like a bowl of gravel. (Bad analogy. Sorry.) Set the streusel aside. *Note to self: Next time, make the streusel with cold butter and the food processor, do it ahead of time, and store it in the refrigerator. That way, you can stand around and watch the cherries in that bowl and won't miss out on any of the action.*.
• Back to the FILLING: Stir the blueberry pie filling into the cherries.
• Pour filling into pie crust and sprinkle the streusel as evenly as possible over the top. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes.
• Note: if you decide to go make it without the pie crust, less baking time is required. It will be done when it's bubbly and the streusel is browned - 40-45 minutes.

CHERRY-BERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.In a large bowl add mixed berries, 1/4 cup sugar, flour, pie filling, and almond extract. Set this aside.
• Unfolding bottom pie crust gently, lay in pie plate. Pour the berry mixture into the unbaked crust. Unfold second pie crust and lay over top of pie. Cut slits in top pie crust to allow for venting or you could cut top crust into strips for lattice topping.
• Seal edges of pie crust by fluting and brush crust with lightly beaten egg. Sprinkle lightly with 1 tablespoon of sugar and bake for 45 minutes or until bubbling. Cover the pie halfway through baking. Let pie set for 20 minutes before serving.
