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.

Hosting Christmas Day celebrations this year? Try your hand at this amazing pavlova stack, shaped into a Christmas tree. The key to success is to decorate each pavlova on its own before stacking to form the tree. It's best to form the tree just before serving to prevent any chance of the pavlova collapsing. For a boozy cream, add a little orange, coffee or hazelnut liqueur to the cream when beating. Edible gold leaf can be found online or at cake decorating stores and gourmet food shops. You can make the meringues the day before serving and store them in the cold oven or in an airtight container. If making the meringues in humid weather, the meringues may weep, causing droplets of sugar and a softer crust.
