Granny Grape Pie—Granny Smith sour apples, Rose's Lime Juice and grape jam combined with graphic pastry for my latest made-up pie. I've read lots of pie recipes and seen a lot of pies, lol, and I'm in the process of trying to create "undiscovered" ones. Instead of using sugar to sweeten the pie apples, I used grape jam. And to keep the apples from discoloring while I was coring and peeling them, I doused them with the commercial cocktail lime juice. A healthy amount of freshly grated nutmeg and rainbow peppercorns add just the right amount of spice to the sweet-and-sour. Now that I've perfected the classic latticework top I'm starting to paint with pastry, lol.
I love to bake, but not as adventurous as you!I follow the recipe...LOVE your creativity!!!
ReplyDeletegive it a try sometime, Mare, go crazy, lol! I don't have any fear because I don't have to cook for anyone but myself. I give away a lot of what I cook, but if the dish doesn't come out well no one ever sees it, lol.
DeleteAs Jacques Pepin once said about cooking - "Give it a try, it isn't brain surgery." I love that man, his positive attitude makes me really enjoy cooking.
ReplyDeleteCasey next time you see him at the market tell Jacques I Love Him. lol
I think he already goes down a different aisle when he sees me, lol. I always want to see what brands he buys and what he thinks look good day in the fresh food section!
