Two Thanksgiving Pies and the Blog Index

The pie on top is a an Apple Sour Cream Pie with fresh ginger in the filling, walnuts and pecans on top and the  below is a Pear and Cranberry spiced with cloves.  Both are a little different for Thanksgiving and a nice break from the usual apple, pumpkin and pecan pie.

The crust on  both pies was very good but the crust on the Pear Cranberry Pie was about as goof as it gets it was lard and butter Cisco for the fat - no butter.  That pie is also about the best thanksgiving pie of all time and the Apple Sour Cream Pie is a dream too,.

Yum!  Those pies look amazing and your family is a lucky one to sample these beauties!

Who needs turkey?? Just skip right to dessert.

your apprentice was standing next to you with wet eyes when you cut open those pies, wasn't she? Gotta get myself one of those Guinness pies for season...

Well, at least I got some a little bit vodka in the crust - makes them flaky sort of like my apprentice:-)

Happy Holidays

Beautiful, beautiful pies. You must have a crowd already lining up at your door for the feast! Thank you for the index, it is always so helpful.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family-and of course your faithful assistant-

The site is dropping comments again oh well it is nice to know that some things never change :-).  We are doubling our usual feast this year.  My daughter's boyfriend and his entire immediate family from New Mexico are coming and we are excited to have them here for Thanksgiving.   They are bringing wine, pecan pie and they love anything cranberry.  It should be fine fare and company.

Best wishes and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours Barbra!

Awww, man, now I'm drooling all over my keyboard!  Those look amazing!  I'm almost glad I can't smell them - not sure I could handle it.  As much as I love pumpkin pie, I would gladly break tradition for these beauties!  Thanks for sharing, dabrownman.  Happy Thanksgiving!

Marcus.  The cranberry one is especially unique with the clove spice an perfect for Thanksgiving - the crust on that on was especially good - cut the hydration to a bare minimum, used ice cold vodka for the water and 3 times more lard and Crisco than butter  - my new favorite. 

Serving your inspired Pate Maison with cheese, home made crackers and breads for appetizers this year.

Happy baking

you bagged and tagged all of those - and then were even able to write about them. Probably because your apprentice is doing all the work, fired up by her daily hemp dose?

 Lovely pies, and the no-fail Vodka crust is my pie crust of choice, too.

Happy Thanksgiving,

Karin

200 different SD and YW bread bakes over the last 20 months - many inspired by you by the way... and they are among my very favorite breads - Wild Rice, Aroma, Challenge all quickly come to mind and you really got me into seeds too which is only appropriate for the Queen of Seeds !

Lucy is a fine formula maker but the hemp really puts her over the edge in my book.  She is a true joy and determined to become more than a bread baking apprentice one day and has recently been promoted from Apprentice Trainee to Apprentice 2nd Rate - after only 8 years.  Glad you liked the pies.

Happy Thanksgiving Karin.

We, especially Lucy, love all things PIE and the reason it has its own separate food group around here - right after bread, ice cream. pizza, smoked meats, beer, wine and spirits, fruits, veggies, chocolate, cakes, cookies, assorted pastries and other deserts. 

Glad you liked the pies - who knew cranberries, right out of a can, would be so good in a pear pie:-)

Happy baking breadsong!
