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.

Marionberry Pie


At request from my friend Barb, who's known me since before I was old enough to vote, I made a fruit pie using local fruit. However, since it's the dead of winter/beginning of spring, the fruit in question was frozen. Marionberries are pretty much the best berry ever, in case you weren't aware. So it's a Marionberry pie.

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.

Mixed-Berry Pie

This one was a birthday present for Georgia Gunesch. I used the same recipe, basically, for both the pie crust and filling, as listed here; however, I used a mix of marionberries, blackberries, raspberries, and white raspberries, which were pretty on their own but quickly picked up the black-red-purple colors once mixed in. The overall flavor was pretty dominated by the marionberries.

First, the end-result photo, then details about the making of, below.


Yum. More details below...

First Pie! Marionberry with Lattice Top

Welcome! This isn't my first pie ever (though I haven't made many in my life, maybe five or six in my life?). But this is my first pie in the pie-a-week project. It came out far better than expected.
First, pictures:
