Pie in a jar, rusk, and potato pancakes

I am getting rid of a bit of paper clutter, so I'm posting these recipes so I can recycle the paper they're on.

Pie-in-a-jar
From Sister Cox

Cherry Pie Filling
2 - 12 oz bags of frozen cherries
1/3-1/2 cup flour
1/2-3/4 cup sugar
1 T lemon juice
1/4 tsp vanilla (or almond extract)
pinch of salt

Mix together, folding dry ingredients into cherries until combined.

Pie crust
8 oz cream cheese
8 oz butter
2 cups flour
Mix together in an electric mixer until soft dough forms.

Pie in a jar:
Roll out dough to approximately 1/8th inch thick. Cut a 6" round of dough and gently press it into a 4oz canning jar. Fill jar with your choice of pie filling. Cut a small circle of dough to fit the top of the pie jar. Fold the bottom crust down over the top to form an edge. Bake at 425° for 20-25 mins.


Potato Pancakes

Apparently Mormon pioneers made this dish during their time in Nauvoo.

4 large potatoes
3 eggs, beaten until light
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Peel, wash, and grate the potatoes. Add the eggs and seasoning to potatoes. Use no baking powder or flour. Fry in hot drippings (ham, bacon, or sausage). Have pan very hot as for hotcakes.


Rusk

Make cornmeal bread according to your favorite recipe. After it has cooled, allow to dry fro several days then bake slowly in a warmed oven until it is thoroughly dry and slightly browned. Grate it on a coarse grater or crumble with a rolling pin. It can be eaten with cream and sugar, or with hot milk and honey poured over it. This makes a tasty, quick mush. (Recipe used the they Nahum Curtis family at Nauvoo.)
