Welcome to Where Is My Spoon! It's all about home cooking

People Often Think of Vareniki or Pierogi As a Savory Dish, but These Vareniki (Pierogi) with Cherries Are One of the Most Delicious Sweet ...

Vareniki (Pierogi) with Cherries

lb + 12 oz

All-purpose flour 2 cups

Salt ¼ tsp

Water ¾ cup + 1 tbsp

Make filling

Combine ½ a cup of sugar with 1 pound of cherries. Mix and leave to stand for about 1 hour until the cherries release their juice.


Make dough

Mix 2 cups of sifted flour with ¼ teaspoon of salt in a large bowl and add ¾ cup of cold water. Mix until the dough comes together.


Knead dough

Knead the dough until completely smooth. Slice the dough ball in half and cover one of the portions while you are not using it to ensure it doesn’t dry out. 


Cut out pierogi wrappers

Roll the dough to ¼-⅛-inch thickness on a floured surface. Cut out 3-inch dough circles using a floured glass or cookie cutter.


Fill dumplings

Place two halved cherries in the center of each dough circle.


Shape the dumplings

Fold each dough piece in half and press the edges together firmly using your fingers. Make sure that the seal is tight enough for your filling not to fall out. Use your fingers to pinch along the sealed dough to create a scalloped edge.


Repeat

Repeat the process until all the dough and cherries are used. 


Cook

Bring a large saucepan of water to boil. Season with salt and place the vareniki in the pan in batches and cook until the dumplings float to the top. Drain and add some melted butter to stop them sticking together.


Make cherry compote

Mix the remaining 12 ounces of cherries with ½ a cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of water. Bring the contents of the pan to a boil then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered for about 15 minutes until the mixture reduces and thickens.


Serve 

Serve with cherry compote and/or sour cream.


First time making Ukranian food I hope it goes well cause these look fantastic!

Pierogi is officially my all time favorite dessert after making this, I might even move over to Ukraine LOL. 

Sooo soo yummy and fun to make too would recommend it.

Little bit of powdered sugar and cinnamon on the top does this recipe good.

Amazing flavor and so simple to make I love homemade desserts like these with fruits.

Making your own dumplings is actually kinda hard I couldn't shape mine at all so I ended up with oddly shaped circles hahaha.

Cool idea going to try it out today hopefully all goes well and I don't mess anything up lol.

Didn't even think to serve mine with sourcream i went with marshmellow fluff instead which was delicious.

The easiest sweet dumplings EVER and it's vegan ;)

Mine turned out soggy and were falling apart not exactly sure what I did wrong though since I followed the instructions exactly as written

Adorable little dumplings the design is so cute and cherries go great with any type of dough.

Wonderful recipe this and the cherry cake are my two personal favorites from this website and aren't too difficult to do yourself at home. 

Tasty and overwhelming sweet that's for sure, my kids liked it more than I did. 

It's like putting a spoonfull of overly sweet cherries into your mouth, less sugar the better on this one

Vareniki used to be my grandmas favorite she made it with blueberries or strawberries though and a bit of butter on the top or jam.

Easy Cherry Cobbler Recipe for the Instant Pot

A delicious cool treat on a hot summer day.  If you don't plan to use halved cherries immediately, toss them with a little lemon juice to help prevent their oxidation, or browning.

Cherry-Vanilla Ice Cream

cherries

c. sugar

heavy cream

c. whole milk

vanilla bean

red food coloring

Make the cherry syrup: Place 1 pound pitted cherries and 1/3 cup sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until cherries soften -- about 10 minutes. Run the cherries and any liquid through a food mill, strain the mixture, discard the solids, and return the liquid to the pan. Cook the cherry mixture over medium heat until it reduces to about 1 cup -- 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and cool completely.

Make the ice cream base: Fill a large bowl with ice and water and place a fine sieve over another medium-sized bowl; set both aside. Combine the cream, milk, and vanilla bean and seeds in a medium saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until mixture just comes to a boil. Whisk the egg yolks and remaining sugar together in a large bowl until thick and pale. Whisking constantly, add the hot milk in a slow, steady stream to the yolk mixture. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly using a wooden spoon, until the mixture coats the back of the spoon -- about 2 minutes. Strain the mixture through the fine sieve into the bowl and place bowl in the prepared ice bath to cool.

Make the ice cream: Cut the remaining cherries in half, toss with the lemon juice, and set aside. Once the ice cream base is completely cool, stir in the cherry syrup and the food coloring, if desired. Process in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Fold in cherry halves, transfer to an airtight container, and freeze until solid. Ice cream will keep for up to 1 month in a freezer.

These chocolate cherry macarons have a tender, chocolate French macaron shell and are filled with cherry frosting and homemade cherry compote.

Chocolate Cherry Macarons

cherries (fresh

sugar

cornstarch

egg whites (room temperature)

cream of tartar

granulated sugar

almond flour (sifted)

powdered sugar (sifted)

unsweetened cocoa powder (sifted)

dark chocolate (melted)

unsalted butter (room temperature)

powdered sugar

cherry compote (cooled)

I recommend making the compote the night before you want to make the macarons so that it has time to fully cool.

Add all of the cherry compote ingredients to a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Allow the cherries to simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently until thickened. Transfer the compote to a glass jar and allow to cool to room temperature.

Cherry Compote

Sift together almond flour, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder into a large bowl and set aside. 

In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the egg whites on medium speed until they become foamy, then add in the cream of tartar.

Turn the mixer up to medium-high and gradually add in the granulated sugar (make sure to add the sugar in very slowly so that the meringue doesn’t deflate).

Once all the sugar is added, turn the mixer to the highest setting and whisk until stiff peaks form.

Using a spatula, gently fold in half of the dry ingredient mixture until fully combined. Then gently fold in the remaining dry ingredients. Continue to gently fold the batter until it reaches a “flowing lava” consistency. You should be able to make a “figure 8” with the batter before it breaks. As soon as you reach this consistency, stop mixing! If you over-mix the batter, the macarons won’t rise properly in the oven.

Line a large baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.

Scoop batter into a large piping bag fitted with a round tip. Hold the piping bag perpendicular to the silicone mat and pipe 1 inch rounds.

Pick up the baking sheet and drop it onto the counter 3-4 times to help bring any air bubbles to the surface of the macarons. Then use a toothpick to pop any visible air bubbles to make a smooth surface.

Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 30-40 minutes or until a skin forms on the surface. You should be able to lightly touch the surface without any batter being disturbed.

While the macarons are resting, preheat the oven to 300°F.

Bake one sheet at a time on the center rack of the oven for 13-15 minutes or when they do not move on their “feet” when touched.

Let the macarons cool completely on the baking sheet before removing them. They should easily peel off when fully cooled.

Match up your shells before filling, and then turn one side over. Drizzle the other side with melted chocolate and let dry before filling.

Macarons

In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, cream the butter and powdered sugar together until smooth.

Add in about 1 tablespoon of the cherry compote, then beat on high speed for 3-4 minutes or until the buttercream is super light and fluffy.

Once the macarons are cooled, pipe the frosting around the edge of the macaron shell. Then add a small scoop of cherry compote in the center (about ½ teaspoon). Then top with the other shell.

Put the assembled chocolate cherry macarons in an airtight container, then place them in the fridge to mature for 12-24 hours. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days. However, for the best taste/texture, let them come up to room temperature for about an hour before eating! [Directly out of the fridge they can sometimes be super hard but at room temperature they&#39;re perfectly soft and tender!]

Cherry Frosting

These cherry bars use my favorite blondie base and turn out perfectly every single time!

Chocolate Chip Cherry Bars

unsalted butter (melted (1 stick))

brown sugar (packed)

vanilla extract

all-purpose flour

salt (optional)

semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8-by-8-inch pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter, about 60 seconds.

To the melted butter, add the brown sugar and stir to combine.

Add the egg, vanilla, and stir to combine. Add the flour, salt, and stir until just combined, taking care not to over mix or the blondies will be tough.

Fold in chocolate chips, fruit (I don’t halve the cherries: I like them chunky and big), and pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing it lightly with a spatula or offset knife if necessary.

Bake for 27 to 32 minutes, or until edges begin to slightly pull away from sides of pan and center is set.**

Allow bars to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving. Blondies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 3 months.

I used sour cherries, and it was great. Maybe a little too much chocolate even. The edges were nice and crispy! My favorite!

I came across this recipe because I had too many sweet cherries in the fridge and wanted to make sure they got used up. I'm so glad I did! These were so easy to make and so delicious. The comments about being too sweet are a bit silly; they're dessert, but there is a good depth of flavor: sweet/tart from the fresh cherries, bittersweet chocolate, a bit of saltiness. I was making them to bring into my team at work, so I doubled the recipe and decided to add 1tsp of baking powder so that they were more "bar-like" than gooey, so that they'd be easy for people to eat without a fork/plate. This worked out great. I baked them in 9x11 for 37 mins and they were perfect. If I make them again for home I will omit the baking powder because I LOVE gooey, but the adjustment was perfect for what I needed them for, and they still had a good bit of gooiness to to them. Everyone raved and they didn't last long.

Made to recipe,did take a little longer to cook than stated but is dangerously tasty!

Very nice . I doubled in a 13 X 9 and baked about 37 minutes. As other people suggested I used 1 tsp baking powder.  Didn’t have chocolate chips so used white chocolate chips instead. Cut the vanilla to  1.5 tsp and added 1/2 tsp of almond extract . Almond and cherry compliment each other nicely. Definitely needs the salt.  Would recommend and make again. 

I made these following the recipe exactly. I actually used frozen cherries, which the recipe says is okay to do, but that the results are not as good as with fresh cherries. I just baked them longer, and goodness!!! My family of 5 all loved them and we devoured them within 24 hours. They were not too soft at all - just perfect. 

Very delicious recipe. I prefer it with a bit less chocolate and sugar since it is very rich. Will make it again for sure!
