Cherry Strudel

“ 10

eeming with ripe, juicy cherries, this subtly sweet fruit filling is encased in crisp, flaky layers of phyllo pastry, and a dusting of cinnamon, brown sugar, and almonds,” says Chef Tom Filippou, executive chef for President's Choice Cooking School.

Cherry Almond Strudel INGREDIENTS • 1 jar (370 ml) PC black label Ontario Montmorency Sour Cherry Fruit Spread • 1/2 cup (125 ml) dried Cherries • 1 tbsp (15 ml) all-purpose Flour • 1/2 cup (125 ml) sliced Almonds, toasted • 1/3 cup (75 ml) plain dry Breadcrumbs • 2 tbsp (25 ml) ground Almonds • 1 tbsp (15 ml) PC black label Cinnamon Spice • 1 tbsp (15 ml) Brown Sugar • 6 sheets PC Phyllo Pastry, thawed • 1/3 cup (75 ml) PC black label Normandy Style unsalted cultured Butter, melted • 1/4 cup (50 ml) Icing Sugar

“ The sour cherry fruit spread makes this delicate and exquisite strudel

a cinch to make.” DIRECTIONS •

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

• In bowl, combine fruit spread, dried cherries and flour. In another bowl, combine sliced almonds, breadcrumbs, ground almonds, cinnamon and brown sugar. •

Lay one sheet of phyllo on baking sheet, keeping remaining phyllo sheets covered with a clean damp kitchen towel until ready to use. Brush phyllo with butter; sprinkle with one-sixth of the almond mixture. Repeat phyllo, butter and nut mixture layers, reserving a little butter, until all phyllo and nut mixture is used up.

•

Using small offset spatula or the back of a spoon, spread cherry mixture evenly over top of phyllo layers, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border bare on all sides. Roll phyllo up lengthwise, jelly-roll style. Tuck ends underneath and brush seams with remaining butter. Place seam side down in the middle of prepared baking sheet. Using sharp knife, cut three equal slits across top of roll. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden and bubbling. Let stand 15 minutes. Sprinkle with icing sugar and slice crosswise on the diagonal to serve. THN www.newscanada.com

IDEAS YOU'LL LOVE

Kitchens are high-traffic rooms that need exceptional flooring. Besides having to look good, successful kitchen floors need to withstand spills, food, sliding chairs, dropped dishes and the occasional mopping. Here are the pros and cons of the five top flooring choices for this important room. >>>

home décor

CERAMICS, PORCELAIN AND STONE TILES Ceramics are a favourite for kitchens because they're tough, easy to clean, long-wearing, and able to let you enjoy the warmth of in-floor heating. Natural stone tiles are tough and beautiful too, but not all stone resists staining as well as ceramics and porcelain. Whichever of these materials you choose, install an uncoupling membrane underneath any kind of rigid tiles to prevent cracking.

CORK This is a dream to walk on because cork offers cushioning action. Commonly available as click together tiles, most cork flooring comes factory finished and ready to install. Think laminate, except softer. >>>

HARDWOOD A lighter duty choice than others, hardwood will do fine if you install protective felt disks on chair and table legs. Want a dark floor? You could stain lighter woods to suit, but scratches and wear eventually show through. Instead, make your kitchen floor DIY-repairable using darker woods such as cherry or alder. Apply polymerized tung oil and the floor finish can be repaired without sanding. >>>

RESILIENT FLOORING This is a catch-all term that refers to any of the one piece roll floorings that are cut to fit from wall to wall. Some of the best resilients lay flat on their own with no need to glue them down. Vinyl, linoleum and fibre resilient floors all provide very good water resistance.

L A M I N AT E S Not all laminates are tough enough for kitchens, so consider products with an abrasion class rating of three or higher. Lighter colours hide dirt and footprints much better than darker laminates.

When you hire a contractor to install your new kitchen floor, make sure your sales contract specifies the exact product you choose and outlines the warranty provided.
