Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ pounds round steak, cut into small pieces

  • 1 cup apple cider

  • 4 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and finely diced

  • 2 ½ cups dried currants

  • 2 ½ cups raisins

  • 1 (16 ounce) jar sour cherry preserves

  • 1 ⅓ cups white sugar

  • ½ pound chopped candied mixed fruit peel

  • ½ cup butter

  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger

  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves

  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 (16 ounce) can pitted sour cherries, drained

  • 1 (14.1 ounce) package double-crust pie pastry, thawed

  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

  • 1 teaspoon white sugar, for sprinkling

Directions

  1. Combine steak and cider in a Dutch oven. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until steak is tender, about 20 minutes. Remove steak to a cutting board; coarsely chop, then return to the pot.

  2. Stir in apples, currants, raisins, cherry preserves, 1 1/3 cups sugar, mixed fruit peel, and butter. Add ginger, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Simmer, uncovered, over low heat until mixture is very thick, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Stir in cherries and remove from heat.

  3. Transfer filling to a container and allow to cool at room temperature. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 week before using.

  4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  5. Line a 9-inch pie dish with 1 pastry crust. Spoon filling into crust and cover with second pastry crust. Crimp edges and cut several slits into top pastry. Brush with cream and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 45 minutes.
