Cakes and Pies

In one of the games, I mentioned that I'd tried a couple of "new" recipes this week. This is one of them, but it really isn't a new recipe. It's over 100 years old. And it's out-of-this-world delicious!! I'm not usually crazy about Blueberry pie, but this is so good, I made another one tonight. (Anyone want to come over for pie? ) So, I thought I'd share the recipe with you. I won't share the other recipe that I tried because it was horrible, terrible, awful, no-good, bad and rotten. Oh, and did I mention that I didn't like it?


BLUEBERRY CREAM PIE

Ingredients:

1 cup white sugar
2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon quick-cooking tapioca
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup milk
1 quart fresh blueberries
2 egg whites
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar





DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Prepare pie pastry, and place into a 10 inch deep dish pie pan.
   
2. In a large bowl, whip egg yolks with an electric mixer on high speed until pale. Gradually add 1 cup sugar while mixing. Mix until sugar has completely dissolved, and the yolks are thick and pale. This can take up to 15 minutes. Mix in the tapioca, salt and lemon juice. Stir in the milk, and then carefully fold in the blueberries. In a large glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites to stiff peaks. Fold egg whites into the blueberry mixture.
   
3. Combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar with the flour, and sprinkle into the bottom of the unbaked pie crust. This will absorb extra juice, and keep the pie from leaking. Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
   
4. Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake for an additional 40 to 60 minutes, or until pie is set
   

A couple of notes. I don't add the lemon juice, because my family doesn't like the flavor of lemon very much. And, it only took the additional 40 minutes when I've made it both times - so don't shoot for the higher number.

I think the lemon juice is to keep the blueberries at their brightest blue, not added as a flavor.....once the pie cooks, you won't taste the lemon...

Hmmmm, bunch of sour pusses....

Thank you i usally don't like Cream Cheese pie cause of the Cream cheese but this pie you can not even taste the Cream Cheese

Aw, I like that Rhonda! I have a friend who's raising a mischievous puppy right now---she'll get a kick out of this! :haha:

I'm going to have to try those South Beach cookies! They sound yummy! (BTW, I have baked with the Splenda sugar substitute before...it's pretty good! It's not 'the same', but not bad either!).

This is a fabulous recipe that was just given to me lately:

PEANUT BUTTER PIE

You will need:

1 8oz package cream cheese
1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup Milk
1 16 oz tub of whipped topping
2 9 inch prepared graham cracker pie crusts

Beat together the cream cheese and confectioners sugar, mix in peanut butter and milk, beat until smooth, fold in whipped topping. Spoon into two 9 inch graham cracker crust. Then cover the pie and freeze until firm.

Savannah sent me this recipe the other day, and I made it this afternoon. It's the best pie I've ever eaten! It's as light as a feather, with such delicious peanut buttery flavor. I had two slices after dinner, and I never have seconds for dessert. But this was just that good!

I only had one pie crust, so I used one-half of the ingredients listed. It came out just right. (Well, there was some filling left over, but I didn't mind spooning it out of the mixing bowl and eating it as sort of a pre-pie test run. )

Thanks, Savannah!

When I worked at Bill Knapps when I was 21, I used to have a piece of their peanut butter pie at LEAST three times a week. This was back in that day I could eat practically anything I wanted and not gain an ounce. Ahem, those days are over. Anyway, they had the BEST, and I've always hesitated to make one because of my high standards, but I might just give this one a shot!

I took a big slice of Savannah's pie over to my 92-year-old neighbor yesterday. She loves food, but isn't a real big eater, so I figured this piece would last her for at least two desserts. Wrong! She polished the whole thing off in one sitting! Now she's insisting I give her the recipe so she can take it down to her daughter's house for Thanksgiving.

Well that Pie sounds Good I'll have to try it myself Thanks for the Recipe Savannah

PS That Soup sounds very good to Samantha

What a sweet thing of you to do, Rob. I'm sure your neighbor appreciated it---sounds like it anyway! :haha:

I've made apple pie for the past 3 years in a row for Thanksgiving. I kid you not, this Martha Stewart Old Fashioned Pie recipe is the BEST anyone in my family has ever had...they all expect me to make HER pie now! LOL!

I am NOT the best baker, but I am telling you, my pies actually end up looking like the one in the picture. I will try to post a picture of mine soon! You need to make the "Pate Brisee" recipe that's linked onto the recipe though---that crust is to die for!!

I made this over Labor day weekend, while in Missouri. It was a HUGE hit!!! I am going to Wichita Falls, TX tomorrow to pick Josh up and bring him home for a short weekend visit, so I am making the pies again to treat him......thanks for the recipe!

You're very welcome! I'm so glad that you like it! It's become a requested favorite here. Yummy!

Savannah, could you use the oreo cookie crust in substitution? I'm just curious. I'm definitely going to have to try this recipe!
