Cheery Cherry Pie – We Love God!

How do we distinguish between satanic accusation and divine conviction? Among other things, the former comes in the shape of condemnation that breeds feelings of hopelessness. We are told that our sin has put us beyond the hope of grace and the power of forgiveness. Satan’s accusations are devoid of any reference to the sufficiency of the cross. Divine conviction for sin, on the other hand, comes with a reminder of the sufficiency and finality of Christ’s shed blood, together with a promise of hope and the joy of forgiveness.

INSTRUCTIONS

TO MAKE CRUST: In a glass measuring cup, blend egg and lemon juice
with a fork.  In a food processor, combine cottage cheese, oil, sugar,
vanilla and  salt; process until smooth and creamy, stopping once to
scrape down  the sides of the workbowl. Add flour and butter; pulse
about 6 times,  just until butter is in pea-size pieces. Add egg
mixture and pulse  just until dough begins to clump together (Do not
let it form a  ball.) Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
Divide into 2  pieces, one slightly larger than the other. Form each
piece into a  disc, srap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least
20 minutes  and up to 2 days.  Lightly oil a 9-inch pie plan or coat it
with nonstick spray. On a  lightly floured surface, roll the larger
piece of dough into a  12-inch circle. Roll dough over rolling pin,
then untoll into  prepared pan. Gently press dough into bottom and
sides of pan.  With  scissors, trim excess pastry, leaving a 3/4-inch
overhand.  Cover  with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed.  On a
lightly floured surface, roll the smaller piece of dough into an
11-inch circle. Roll dough over rolling pin, then unroll onto a sheet
of parchment or wax paper. Using a pastry wheel, preferably serrated,
or a sharp knife, cut dough into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Carefully
transfer peper to a baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and
refrigerate until needed.  TO MAKE FILLING & BAKE PIE:  Position oven
rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 425Ã¸F.  In a large bowl, toss
cherries with 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon  juice and almond
extract. Spoon into crust.  Weave pastry strips about 1/2inch apart to
form a lattice over the  filling. Trip strips at edge of pie pan.  Turn
overhanging pastry up  over rim; press to seal and ecoratively flute
edges. Brush milk over  lattice top and sprinkle with remaing 2
teaspoons sugar.  Set pie on a baking shet and bake for 20 minutes.
Cover edges of  crust with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
Reduce oven  temperature to 375Ã¸F and bake for 40 to 50 minutes
longer, or until  crust is golden and juices are bubbling. Cool on a
wire rack.  Recipe by: Eating Well (July/August) 1997  Posted to
