GF POP TARTS
copied from another site

Two pie crusts: ( I assume you can use any GF pie crust recipe, this one I found on another site)


2 cups of Bob's Red Mill all purpose flour (GF) or any GF all purpose mix (I use one from a cook book I have)

Add:
¾ cup +2 tablespoons GF margarine
Cut margarine into flour mixture with a pastry blender until well blended.

Add:
2 eggs
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
Gradually add while mixing enough cold water to form a ball.
Flour (rice) a board or wax paper well.

Divide dough in half, form two balls Flour top of one ball and roll out dough (Keep dusting top with flour as you roll out).

For Pop Tarts, I used a spatula to cut out the standard "pop tart" size. Also, I didn't this time, but next time, I will brush both sides with egg whites, before adding filling.

Apply 2 tablespoons GF pie filling or 100% fruit spread to one piece.

Place 2nd piece on top and seal the edges by lightly crimping with a fork.

Prick the top with a fork.

Bake at 350F on Cookie sheet for 15-20 minutes or until done.

When cool drizzle with 10x sugar or GF icing.

Freeze with wax paper between then toast in toaster to serve.

3 pts of my orange jams set!!!! The remaining 3 pts and 6 half pts are semi set, almost a thick glaze. I went back into the pantry and double checked my pear preserves.... they are about half set!!!

Nothing to can on the horizon..... That should give me time to rearrange my pantry to hold it all, I'm on overflow book shelving right now.

My seven year old peach tree had peaches for the first time this year. Yesterday I made fruit leather and dried peaches. You are right - dried peaches are like candy! So delicious. I have never made a peach pie, but it looks like this winter I will give it a try.

I canned four quarts as well.

How do you keep the peaches from darkening?

Sandee, I always add an extra half a box of pectin to my jams and jellies. The jars on the shelf are still warm but seem to be setting up nicely. The half a jar I had left over and put into the fridge without water bathing set perfectly. So I don't anticipate any problems.

I usually only have trouble when I over cook, it breaks down the pectin and then they won't set. Learned that the hard way by trying to cook my batches in too large an amount at once.

First yr making cheese....I've done tons of chevre (which I use like cream cheese...cheesecakes drizzled with fresh jam...) as well as tons of feta, basket and some fresh curds. I'm ready to try blue cheese next. But....cheesecake....drizzled with fresh jam.....heavenly.

My trees are dripping with wild black cherries/pin cherries. Of course they are about 100ft tall trees, most on steep banks surrounded by briar's!!! I picked about 3 cups for jelly and then syrup (out of the pulp from making the jelly). I wish I could collect more...there literally millions of cherries hanging from about 50 trees and all I could reach was 3 measly cups. I put a tarp down to hopefully catch some....no luck yet. They are up there laughing at me.
