3/4 stick butter

Put flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Cut the butter and shortening into the flour. Process a few seconds until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.

Double this up for a top and bottom crust.

Sprinkle a teaspoon or two of sugar on the strawberries, and place them in the shell. Pour the cooled 7-Up mixture over the strawberries. Allow this to set for a few minutes.

With a wire whisk, gently fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture. Carefully fold in the rest of the egg whites but do not over mix. Place the bowl covered in the refrigerator for about two hours until the mixture is very thick. Whip the cream, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and Grand Marnier until stiff peaks form.

Stir rolled oats with flour and brown sugar in a small bowl. Using a fork, work in butter till mixture is crumbly. Do not use a food processor as it breaks up the oats.
Place oven rack on lowest level and pre-heat oven to 425F. Peel and slice apples into 1/4 inch wedges. Measure 8 cups into a large bowl. Sprinkle with lemon juice and stir to coat. In a small bowl, stir brown sugar with flour, cinnamon and salt. Stir into apples.
Roll out pastry and fit into a pie plate. Trim overhang to about 3/4 inch from edge. Fold under, press into a high edge and flute. Spoon apple mixture into pastry, mounding in middle. Press down lightly on apples. Cover apples with the crumb topping. Do not press topping down.
Carefully place pie on a shallow baking sheet with sides to catch drippings. Replace any crumble that may have fallen off. Place sheet holding pie on bottom rack of 425F oven. Immediately turn oven down to 350F. Bake until apples are fork tender, from 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Serve warm or cold.

NOTE: You can also dry pack the apple pie filling; the juices from the apples will be all you need during the canning process.

Generously butter a wide, shallow baking dish and arrange the cherries evenly over the bottom. Beat the eggs lightly in a large boel; beat in a pinch of salt and the sugar.

Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 35-40 minutes, until the batter is set. If you don't want to serve immediately, it may help to prevent the batter sinking if you turn the oven down to 325 and bake for a few minutes longer. Sprinkle with sugar and serve hot or lukewarm, with cream. Serves 4-6.
