Let’s talk food. We’re approaching the holiday season and I
know many of us can’t wait to try all the delicious dishes that will fill the
tables.
Whenever
I go to do a dinner party, my friends always ask me to bring a pie. See pie is
my thing. It isn't something that most people make often, but when you show up
at a gathering with a homemade pie it’s always a huge hit.
Fruit
pies are my pies of choice. There are two very important "tips" that
have been passed down in our family to ensure you have a great pie.
One
I know came from my Great Aunt Doris. She was Portuguese with a warm heart, but
she didn't ever have patience for nonsense. Her pie secret was touch the dough as little as possible or
the crust gets hard.
The
second for any fruit pies is to add a touch
of nutmeg, whenever you are using cinnamon. The flavors go really well
together.
Below
are some of the winning recipes from our 2012 pie competition. Do you have a
favorite pie or a special recipe addition that you might be willing to share?
