Food All Things Pie

For enhanced baking accuracy...

 

The Cook's Country pecan pie kicked ass. The flavor is amazing!

 

I've been thinking about making mincemeat pie for Thanksgiving (sans suet, of course, which isn't kosher). I've never made mince pie before, but for some reason I have a yen for it. I heard a friend say she puts other dried fruits besides raisins or currants, which makes me think I'd like to try that.

 

I wanted to do mince meat for Thanksgiving dinner but was told (rather rudely, I thought) by my kiddos that I would be the only one eating it so it would be a waste of time.
Maybe a mini one?

 

"I shall call him...Mini-Mince."

 

My dear @snowy. Only you could make the act of baking a pie sound thoroughly hot.

I now have the most incredible urge for some pie......

 

If I could cheer you up, my dear, then my day was a good one. From now on, I'll always have a special smile whenever I have some .....um....pie.

No disrespect intended toward your MIL, but....ewww. You must bring the poor dear gently toward the light.

Actually I've never had a Costco pie, but nothing beats homemade.

 

Pecan is one of my favorites. Excellent choice!

 

I can understand not wanting too much, but it seems like quantity and quality are being confused a bit. If anyone can bring her around, I'm sure it's you.

By the way, I spent my entire day at work fantasizing about....pie. Damn you @snowy!!!!

 

Ugh, my MIL consistently gets Costco pumpkin and Apple pies, and asks me not to make pie, or says, "I thought people would like choices...." Despite the fact that I make very decent pie-- certainly better than Costco. I smile through it every year, but I am really like, "Bitch, fuck you and your lousy-ass big-box store subpar industrial bakery passive-aggressive pie!"

 

I really like chocolate pecan pie. I wished I had my own kitchen to bake this Christmas.

 

Don't worry, you will have one soon, my friend!

Dear @snowy has completely changed the way I think about pie. Now, it's all I think about, and no matter how much I get, I still want more pie!!!

Excuse me, I think I need to grab a cold shower.....

 

We usually do homemade pies with fresh fruit/berries because not only do they taste better, we get to control how much processed sugar is added. The apple pie recipe we use has only cup of added sugar.

I did find a filling at the grocery store that is really good, Private Selctions Oregon Triple Berry Fruit Filling (Oregon red raspberries, strawberries, & Marion blackberries). I was looking at some "fancy" jams at the grocery store, but didn't like the prices. On the baking aisle we happened to stop in front of the pie fillings, and I decided to give it a try.
