Makes just under 1 quart.

2 lb damson plums, pitted and cut in half 1 cup honey or mixed honey and pure maple syrup ¼ cup finely grated apple, raw and unpeeled

In a large pot, combine all ingredients. Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring frequently. When it becomes soupy, increase heat and bring to a full boil.

Stir slowly as it cooks for 15 to 20 minutes. It will thicken and darken. Try to get it up to 220° F. (Higher elevations will not get the temperature up that high, so do your best.)

Pour into prepared canning jars, giving at least ¼ inch of headspace. Seal and process for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath, or 20 minutes at high elevation.

¾ cup flour ¾ cup rolled oats 1/3 cup cold butter ¼ cup sour cream or plain yogurt

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Stir together the flour and oats. Cut in the butter until crumbly and there's no dry powder. Stir in the sour cream/yogurt.

Sprinkle flour in the pie tin, then dump the dough in and press it evenly onto the bottom and sides. It can be baked now, or chilled for a sturdier crust.

For a half-baked crust, when the filling is to be baked for 30 minutes or less, bake the crust alone for 10 minutes. For a fully baked crust, bake alone for 15-20 minutes. If the crust does not need to be pre-baked, use the baking time for the pie filling recipe.

1 lb cherries, any variety, pits and stems removed 2 Tbsp apple juice, as desired for sweetness ¼ tsp ground cinnamon A pinch of ground cloves 1 cup milk or nut milk

If using canned cherries, drain out and discard the syrup. If using fresh cherries and juice comes out from pitting them, use the juice!

Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Be sure to blend it thoroughly. Strain the skins out if necessary.

Crust:

½ cup flour ½ cup rolled oats ½ tsp salt ¼ cup cold butter, cubed 2 Tbsp cold water

Stir together the flour, oats, and salt. Cut in the butter until it's clumpy. Stir in the water. Put dough on a piece of plastic wrap and use the wrap to press it into a ball, then chill.

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Meanwhile, make the filling:

2 ½ cups almond flour 1 cup quince jam 2/3 cup dried or candied fruit, finely chopped 1 tsp cinnamon 2 egg yolks ½ cup sour cream

Mix all ingredients together.

When the crust is firm to the touch, place the ball of dough in a pie tin. Use the plastic wrap as a shield to roll or press out the dough to shape the crust in the pie tin. Press the filling evenly into the crust.

Bake for 30 minutes.

Filling:

5 ½ to 6 cups cored, diced pears 1 ½ Tbsp cornstarch 1/8 tsp salt ¼ cup maple syrup 1 Tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp finely grated lemon zest 2 Tbsp minced candied ginger or ½ tsp ground ginger

Topping:

2/3 cup flour ¾ cup rolled oats ¼ cup packed brown sugar ¼ tsp salt 6 Tbsp cold butter

Heat the oven to 400°. Place the diced pears in a large bowl, sprinkle the cornstarch over them, and stir well. Add the remaining filling ingredients and toss gently, until the mixture is evenly combined.

Put the filling into deep-dish pie tin and smooth the top of the fruit. Bake for 45 minutes.

While it's baking, make the topping. Combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut in the butter until you have large crumbs. Refrigerate the topping until you are ready to use it.

Lower the oven temperature to 375°. Remove the fruit from the oven and carefully pour the crumbs in the center of the pan, then spread them evenly. Return the crumble to the oven and bake for 15 minutes.

3 egg whites 2/3 cup sugar ½ tsp vanilla extract 1/8 tsp almond extract ¼ cup corn starch 1 1/3 cup finely chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 300° F. Warm egg whites over hot water. Combine egg whites, vanilla, and almond extract, and beat until soft peaks form. Slowly pour the sugar in while beating at high speed. Beat until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, mix together corn starch and nuts. Beat into the egg whites at low speed. Drop by spoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet. They don't spread, so you can place them close together on the sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove from pan immediately and cool on a wire rack.
