Ingredients
Method
Cherry Pie
- Combine the flour and salt in a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Add the diced cold butter and work it in with your hand or in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment until you get the texture of very coarse sand. Add the water a bit at a time until the dough comes together when pressed. Separate 1/4 of the dough for the top crust. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine together your pitted cherries, sugar, cornstarch, and jam over medium heat. Stir to combine and let it come to a simmer. Remove the heat and set aside to cool. If you want a brighter red filling, add a few drops of red food coloring and stir to combine.
- Preheat your oven to 375F.
- Take the larger portion of dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out into an 8-9" circle. Lay the dough into your 6" pie pan and press it into the edges. Prick a few holes on the bottom with a fork to prevent it from puffing in the oven. Roll out the second ball of dough. You can choose to do a lattice top or a really simple one like I did. Pour the filling into the pie pan and top it with the crust. Press the edges together with a fork. Brush the top with the lightly beaten egg and bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown and the center is bubbling. Let cool before serving.
Tuna Fish Sandwich
- In a bowl, mix the tuna, mayo, dill, lemon juice, relish, onions, and celery. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the tuna into two sandwiches. Top with slices of tomato and lettuce.
