Mid-summer is the time to prepare cherries for future use and all kinds of baked goods to use as filling. Try making this simple but very tasty pie with cherry jelly - you will definitely love it!
The pie consists of two parts: shortbread and cherry jelly, however, cherries can be replaced with any other berry.
For the crust: 300 g of flour, 80 g of cold creamy margarine, 1-2 tablespoons of sugar, a tablespoon of very cold water.
For the jelly: about 1.5 cups fresh cherries, pitted (can be replaced with frozen); sugar to taste (depending on the acidity of the berries and your taste preferences); 20 g gelatin (a little more than one pack).
1. Rub all the ingredients for the crust (flour, creamy margarine, sugar), except water, into crumbs, then add water and knead the dough of medium softness.
2. Wrap the dough in film (cellophane) and leave it in the refrigerator for an hour.
3. Prepare the jelly: soak the gelatin in half a glass of cold boiled water, leave for an hour. Cover the cherries with sugar and place on low heat until it boils. If you find the juice very concentrated, add water as desired.
4. After boiling, remove the cherries from the heat and let stand for 10-15 minutes. Add the swollen gelatin to the still hot cherry syrup with berries and stir until completely dissolved (the better the gelatin swells, the faster it will dissolve). Leave at room temperature.
5. Preheat the oven to 180°. Distribute the cold dough over the pan, forming sides. We try to hook the edges of the dough onto the top of the sides so that it does not slip. Prick with a fork and bake for 35-40 minutes.
6. Cool the finished cake, pour thick jelly syrup into it (at room temperature it does not harden, but it becomes dense enough and will not wet the cake), immediately put it in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
I’ve always had my eye on store-bought cakes covered with jelly with various fruits, and so I decided to make a homemade curd cake with cherry jelly. And I realized that my own is much tastier, healthier and cheaper. Now I don’t look at store-bought ones at all. And I don’t advise you either - there is little that can be added to them by not always conscientious manufacturers. Better yet, let’s prepare a delicious curd cake with jelly at home with “Very Tasty” (and instead of cherries, you can put any fruit or berries). Well! Let's get started!

For the jelly layer:
The finished cottage cheese cake turned out simply fabulous! A thin biscuit base with a thick layer of delicate curd cream and covered with slightly sour cherry jelly - the perfect combination! The cake turned out to be absolutely not cloying, not filled with rich cream, and the fruit jelly makes it very juicy and fresh. There is no question about benefits here at all: vitamins, calcium, protein, and so on! Bon appetit with “Very Tasty”!
Who doesn't love pies (pies) with cherries? I think that no one is indifferent. Therefore, I invite you to a tea party with a delicious pie. It's not difficult to prepare, and the results are excellent.
1. Prepare yeast dough according to your favorite recipe. Divide it into 2 unequal halves (one larger, the other smaller).
2. Drain the cherries in a colander and strain off the liquid.
3. Roll out the dough into a circle, according to the diameter of the mold (smaller piece). Make extra for the sides.
Sprinkle with starch.
4. Mix sugar and gelatin.
5. Place cherries on the dough. Sprinkle sugar and gelatin on top.
6. Roll out the second part of the dough (larger) in the same way and place it on the filling.
7. We braid the middle (like crocheting a chain) in one direction.
8. And we “weave” the side ones in the opposite direction. All this can be done on the table, rather than on the pie itself. But then, when carried, everything becomes deformed... It’s good to fasten the edges to the base.
9. Brush the top of the pie with egg yolk and place in the oven.
Temperature 200*, time 25-30 minutes. But look at your oven.
Cool the finished pie well and put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes so that the gelatin sets well.
Bon appetit!
Sweet pies are prepared with fruit, berry or mixed fillings from various types of dough. They turn out especially tender with frozen or fresh cherries; when baked, the berries release juice and make the baked goods incredibly aromatic and juicy. The fastest cherry pie is made from batter and is called “Jellied”.
Jellied pies are valued for their taste, simplicity, speed of preparation and versatility. The dough for a pie based on kefir or sour cream is kneaded in 5 minutes, and the filling can be any sweet or salty. Cherry pie will turn out delicious either from frozen berries or from fresh, pitted ones.
If you don’t like to eat cottage cheese in its pure form, then try baking this pie. You will undoubtedly like it. The dough for this pie is made from shortbread. It is convenient because it does not need to be kneaded and rolled out. It is enough to turn it into crumbs and you can bake a cake. Anyone who doesn’t like jelly can make this pie without topping, but with this jelly the pie turns out much tastier...
Pour flour mixed with soda and citric acid into a bowl. Add margarine and chop everything with a knife.
In another bowl, mix the egg yolks with sugar and salt.
Place the egg mixture into the butter dough and mix everything.
Add enough kefir so that the dough crumbles, but does not stick together in lumps. If you have too much kefir, add a little more flour.
Make a crumbly dough.
For the filling, mix cottage cheese with egg.
Using a blender, turn it into a homogeneous mass. Add the whipped whites and vanilla into a thick foam. Stir carefully. Place half of the dough onto a baking sheet and press down lightly.
Place all the curd filling onto the dough.
Cover the filling with the remaining dough.
Place the pie in the oven preheated to 200°. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown.
Remove the baked pie from the oven and cool without removing it from the baking sheet. Dissolve gelatin in a glass of water. Heat it in a water bath or in the microwave until almost boiling. Mix it with jam and leave to cool.
