Ingredients
-
1 ¼ pounds round steak, cut into small pieces
-
1 cup apple cider
-
4 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and finely diced
-
2 ½ cups dried currants
-
2 ½ cups raisins
-
1 (16 ounce) jar sour cherry preserves
-
1 ⅓ cups white sugar
-
½ pound chopped candied mixed fruit peel
-
½ cup butter
-
1 teaspoon ground ginger
-
½ teaspoon ground cloves
-
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
-
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
1 (16 ounce) can pitted sour cherries, drained
-
1 (14.1 ounce) package double-crust pie pastry, thawed
-
2 tablespoons heavy cream
-
1 teaspoon white sugar, for sprinkling
Directions
-
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. Remove steak to a cutting board; coarsely chop, then return to the pot.
-
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.
-
Transfer filling to a container and allow to cool at room temperature. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 week before using.
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Line a 9-inch pie dish with 1 pastry crust. 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.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 45 minutes.
