Pie: part II


Liz Marden and her pies were so inspiring, I made a peach and blackberry pie tonight to bring to a party tomorrow. I think it turned out pretty well and the house smells great!

Just one thing: Liz recommends using a ceramic pie dish instead of glass, mostly because she likes the presentation. I usually use glass so I can make sure the bottom crust browns.

Just say no to soggy crusts!

So I pulled out a pretty ceramic pie pan that I use mostly for decoration and used it tonight. The top looks good and this baked at 400 degrees for an hour. I guess I'll find out tomorrow if the bottom crust browned enough. I'm not an experienced enough pie maker to trust my instincts on this....

Pie recipes coming Wednesday....
