Homemade Pierogi

Prep Time 45 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Servings 24 Pierogis

Ingredients

Dough

  • 2 Cups AP Flour
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 1 LG Egg
  • ½ Cup Sour Cream
  • 4 Tbsp Butter Room Temp

Filling

  • 1 Cup Warm Mashed Potatoes
  • 1 Cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese Shredded

To Finish

  • 4 Tbsp Butter Cold
  • 1 Med Onion Sliced

Instructions

To Make The Dough

  • Mix together the flour and salt. Add the egg to the flour and combine. The dough will be quite clumpy at this point.
  • Work in the Sour Cream and Soft Butter until the dough comes together in a slightly rough, slightly sticky ball.
  • Using just your fingertips. knead and fold the dough without adding additional flour until the dough becomes less sticky but still quite moist.
  • Wrap the dough well in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes, or up to 48 hours.

To make the filling:

  • Combine the warm mashed potatoes and cheese. Stir and mash until the cheese is melted and the filling is cool to touch. Taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper.

To fill the pierogi

  • Roll half the dough 1/16" thick. Use a medium cutter to cut circles of dough. Repeat with the other half of the dough. Save the scraps; these can be snipped into small pieces and added to simmering soups.
  • Place 2 tsp of filling on each of the rounds of dough. Use small and medium Pierogi makers to fold and seal.
  • At this point the pierogi can be frozen for up to 4 weeks, or refrigerate overnight, or cooked in a large stockpot of boiling salted water. Only cook about 10 pierogi at a time, so they have room to float without sticking. When the Pierogi float, they're done. The time will vary depending on if they are fresh or frozen.
  • Sauté the onions in the butter in a large skillet until the onion begins to brown. Add the drained pierogi and cook until browned and crisp. Serve hot with additional sour cream, applesauce, or other condiments.

Bloody Mary Mix

Ingredients

  • 30 Med Sun-Dried Tomatoes Quartered
  • 1 ½ Cups Green Peppers Chopped
  • 1 Cup Carrots Diced
  • ½ Cup Celery Diced
  • 1 SM Onion Diced
  • 1-2 Cloves Garlic Minced
  • ¼ Cup Parsley Minced
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • ¼ Cup Sugar
  • ¼ Cup Bottled Lemon Juice
  • 1 ½ Tbsp Salt
  • 1 Tbsp Colonel Pabst Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 Med Jalapeno Diced

Instructions

Preparation:

  • Prepare 6 quart jars, lids and rings. Sterilize the jars and keep them in the hot water until it's time for processing. Make sure to fill your water bath canner and get the water to a simmer.

Cooking:

  • In a large stainless steel or enameled Dutch oven cook tomatoes, green peppers, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, bay leaf, parsley and hot peppers approximately 30-45 minutes or until vegetables are breaking down. Remove bay leaf.

Note:

  • If you want to remove the seeds and any additional skin of the tomatoes you can pour in batches through a sieve or fine mesh strainer.
  • With your immersion blender, food processor or upright blender work through the recipe until the contents are smooth.
  • Stir with your spoon just to make sure you did not miss any big pieces.
  • To the pot add the sugar, bottled lemon juice, Colonel Pabst Worcestershire Sauce and salt. Heat to a boil over medium heat stirring frequently.

Filling the jars:

  • On a dishtowel place your hot jars and using your funnel in each jar ladle the mixture into the jars leaving ½" headspace. Remove air bubbles and refill to the proper headspace if necessary.
  • Taking a clean papertowel wet it with warm water abd wipe the rims of the jars removing and food particles that would interfere with a good seal.
  • Using your magic wand extract the lids from the hot water and place them on the now cleaned rims. Add your rings to the tops of each of the jars and turn to seal, just "finger tight".

Processing:

  • Make sure your rack is on the bottom of the canner and place the jars in the water bath making sure the water covers each of the jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add hot water to the canner if it doesn't measure up.
  • Cover the pot and turn up the heat under the canner and wait for the water to start boiling. Once the water has come to a boil start your timer for 40 minutes.
  • When complete turn off the heat and remove the cover and let the jars sir for another few minutes.
  • Remove jars and place them back on the dishtowel in a place that they will sir overnight to cool. Do not touch or move them until the next morning.

Sealing:

  • Some time in the next hour your jars will be making a "pinging" noise. That is the glass cooling and the reaction of the lids being sucked into the jar for proper sealing.
