Delightful Pies

     Once again, this is exactly what it sounds like. As I said last week, it's that time of year. I layed out all the basic crust options (Read Under Everything.) And now, I'm giving you a few fantastic flowers to choose from. I did all the research, so you don't have to. Step by step,in a how-to. If that works for you, let's get into it!

I'll bet you never thought of this one, but I came up with a Pineapple pie*. You start with making the filling. Dissolve a tbspn of cornstarch into the juice of a 16 oz can of pineapple chunks, and simmer for 5 minutes to thicken. Then just pour into a Graham cracker crust (Recipe in article above.) And enjoy! 

Pumpkin chiffon** is an oldie, but a goodie. For this one, you'll need 1-1/2 cups crushed ginger snaps, a quarter cup of melted unsalted butter, and 3 tbspn. of sugar. You'll use these to makea crust, instead of grajam crackers. Then, you'll make pumpkin custard. Make a serving of gelatin, adding 2/3 cup of sugar, a pinch of salt, and 4 egg yolks. (Save the whites!) You'll also add a Tspn of pumpkin pie spice and a 15 oz can of pumpkin. Next, you'll make meringue. Which sounds tricky, but it's just whipping the egg whites with sugar until it forms stiff peaks. Now, gently fold your meringue into your custard, a third at time. Once you have a pumpkin mousse, spoon it into your ginger snap crust. Top with whipped cream, and enjoy!

Cranberry -Rhubarb***Does exactly as it says on the tin, so to speak. And to find out, you'll need 2-3/4 cups chopped rhubarb, 2 cups cranberries, 3/4 cup sugar, 3-1/2 tbspn cornstarch, and 1 tbspn butter. Mix everything but the butter together in a large sauce pan until well combined. Then pour into a crust, and top with butter (That melts in.) Let cool, and as usual, enjoy! 

Pecan (Tassies**** These are, again, more about technique. But you're gonna combine 1-1/2 cup of chopped pecans with a cup of sugar, a cup of corn syrup, 2 tbspn of melted butter, a tspn. vanilla extract, and 3 eggs. Once again, mix everything together in a sauce pan, and pour into  prepared crusts. Let them cool, and like always, enjoy!
