4 cups (12 oz) fresh cranberries
1 cup raisins, dried cranberries, or similar dried berries
½ cup sugar
¾ cup brown sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp ground cloves
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground black pepper
1 cup water, vegetable stock, or orange juice
½ cup minced onion
½ cup minced Granny Smith apple
½ cup minced celery
In a medium pot, combine the cranberries, dried fruit, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, salt, pepper, and water/stock/orange juice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer over low heat until the berries start to pop, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the onion, apple, and celery. Stir occasionally until the mixture thickens, 5-10 more minutes. Remove from heat.
For best flavor, refrigerate it overnight.

Filling:
1 lb. chicken meat
1 ½ tsp minced garlic
1 cup minced celery
¾ cup chopped onion
2 cups potato, cut into ½” cubes
½ cup grated parmesan (or other cheese)
½ tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp tomato powder
½ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp fennel seed
¼ cup cornstarch
½ cup water, soup stock, or cream
Crust:
2 ¾ cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
6 Tbsp oil
1 ½ cup milk or water
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Place the chicken in a greased pan over medium-high heat and let the outside brown, flipping occasionally, while you prepare the rest of the filling. The chicken does not have to be cooked through at this time.
Chop the vegetables, mix the filling ingredients in a large bowl. When the chicken is seared on the outside, cut it into small pieces and stir into the filling.
In a separate bowl, stir together all the crust ingredients.
Grease a large pie pan, and press 1/3 of the crust dough into the bottom, with wet hands to smooth it out to fill the space. Pour the filling into the pie pan, evening out the top. Place the rest of the dough on top, using wet hands to smooth it out and completely cover the filling.
Bake for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches at least 165° F, checking in several spots.

Crust:
1 cup flour
6 Tbsp butter
¼ cup cold water
1/8 tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp basil
¼ tsp ground mustard seed
Filling:
½ cup diced potato
½ cup minced carrots
½ cup minced celery
½ cup minced onion
½ cup chopped green beans
2 Tbsp oil
1 Tbsp flour
1 Tbsp butter
¼ tsp rosemary
¼ tsp fennel seed
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
½ cup vegetable stock
Crust: Stir together the flour, salt, pepper, basil, and ground mustard. Cut in the butter until the flour is all moistened, but leave some larger chunks of butter. Stir in the water to make a soft dough. Press the dough together, then wrap in plastic wrap and chill while making the filling.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, sautee the vegetables with the oil for 3 minutes. Mix together the flour, rosemary, fennel, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low, push the vegetables to one side, and melt the butter on the other side. When it is melted, stir the flour mixture into the butter, then stir everything together. Add the vegetable stock and keep stirring as a gravy forms. Then remove from heat.
Preheat oven to 425° F.
Divide the crust dough into 4 parts. Roll each section into a thin circle. Get the outline of the circles wet with water or beaten egg. Put ½ cup of filling onto each crust piece, and fold the crust over the filling, pinching together the edges to seal it closed.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the pasties on without touching each other. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the crusts are golden brown.

This is how my mom makes stuffing for Thanksgiving.
Ingredients:
cornbread
bread
onions
celery
butter
sage
soup stock
salt
Make a batch of cornbread. Cut into cubes after it's baked.
Gather different kinds of bread and rolls you have around. Stale bread is okay. Tear or cut the bread into cubes. Have an equal amount of cornbread and other bread.
Mix the cornbread and the other bread together in large bowl.
Saute chopped onions and chopped celery in butter.
Mix onions and celery into the breads.
Add a lot of ground sage to taste.
Add chicken/turkey broth or vegetable stock. Add enough to moisten the bread, especially if some is stale, but not so much that it turns into a gluey, soggy lump.
Add salt if the stock/broth you used was not salty.
At this point taste it and add more sage/salt/broth as necessary.
Spread it into a baking pan and warm it in the oven until it's warm all the way.
