Curious About Pies

I'm an amateur cook who'd like to get really good at making pies. I've opted for the immersion method: between August 2011 and August 2012, I'm making at least one pie per week. On this blog, I'll share my pie progress.

Night of two Pies, part 2: Honey-Sweetened Berry Pie


The second pie of the evening: a honey-sweetened berry pie. Quite good, sweet and tart and flavorful.

Night of two Pies, part 1: Salty Honey Pie



Last Friday I made two pies. They were both quite good. This post will be about the first of them: a Salty Honey Pie, possibly the most decadent and/or delicious dessert I've made yet.

Maple Cream Pie

Here in the dead of winter, there isn't a lot of fresh fruit in season. But we do have sugar and dairy. So why not make a Maple Cream Pie?

Sugarless Honey-Blackberry Pie with Whole-Wheat Rye Crust

It's that time of year when the incessant snow and ice make you think longingly of summer...

Wait a minute... this is the second-mildest winter on record. I wore a T-shirt to the store today and was slightly too warm. There's a sunny blue sky above, with soft scudding clouds. 

Nevertheless, it's time to pull out the fruit we froze in September and make it into delicious pie. First up: farmers-market blackberries.
