I've never heard of carrot pie but that looks YUMMY!

Going to give it a try when it cools some more. I baked two loaves of bread and it just came out. Probably have to have some hot bread and then pie. But fresh bread with mom's strawberry jam is dessert. So I suppose it is dessert and then dessert.  heavy sigh  ^-^

If it is any comfort the pie is terrible. I can hardly finish this third slice.

I can live with that.  Actually, I think I could live with a bag of dark chocolate M&Ms.  I think I'll get some tomorrow.

Those look good, but there's nothng that can pull me off the pumpkin pie this time of year. I wait all year for it.

You can make carrot pie any time of the year. And WHY would you wait an entire year for ANY pie? That seems weird.

Carrot pie is only using a different orange colored veggie. The mix is the same as pumpkin. The spices make the pumpkin pie what it is.

Here's a cranberry-apple pie I made a couple weeks ago.

Dang, I just woke up, read Pookie's toons while my coffee is making and now I see this....NO FAIR..

I'm hungry!

That looks scrumptious. How do you make your filling?

[mountaineer]

The recipe is from Taste of Home. I made a few additions

2 c. chopped cranberries
2 med. tart apples, peeled and chopped (I used Granny Smith)
1-1/4 c. brown sugar
2 T flour (could have used a little more - it was runny)
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. ground coriander, pinch nutmeg (my additions)
1 to 2 T butter

Combine cranberries, apples, brown sugar, flour and spices; pour into crust (I used the basic 2-crust recipe). Dot with butter.
Put on top crust - I  cut out leaf shapes and scattered them about; could use regular top crust, lattice, etc.

Bake at 425 for 35-40 minutes.


If I make it again, will add a bit more apple and flour, but it tasted delicious.

For you baked potato fans how many of you put Ranch dressing on it instead of sour cream?

Also Catalina dressing on your tacos.

I'm finding a liking to Sriracha over Tabasco.

Here is a pumpkin pie recipe that intrigues me. A pinch of black pepper. This one has more ginger than the one I used for my carrot pie. With the ginger, cloves and nutmeg all at equal 1/2 tspn.

This is a recipe from King Arthur's Flour.

    1/2 cup granulated sugar
    1/2 cup brown sugar
    1 tablespoon King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon ground ginger
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
    1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
    1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (optional)
    3 large eggs, beaten
    2 cups (or one 15-ounce can) pumpkin
    1 1/4 cups light cream or evaporated milk

One of thee worst things about traditional fruitcake is its density. And I am not a big fan of candied fruit. Here is another recipe for a quick fruit cake or fruit bread. Another from the King Arthur Flour website. BTW, I don't use King Arthur Flour so I ain't putting in a plug for them. I use recipes from anywhere. Mostly Cook's.

I have some dehydrated cran/strawberries and blueberries and I may give this a go.

But I wouldn't mind taking a look at family fruitcake recipes.

We do the baked potato bar thing for eats sometimes. Then I do put a dollop of sour cream over the cheese and chili. With chopped green onions.

I'm going to start by asking how people cook their turkeys. I already know how to cook my goose. Anyways, we tent the bird until the last hour or two when we remove the tent to brown the bird.

Two years ago, I started spatchcocking my turkey. It cooks faster and is the meat is moist every time.  If you have to have the perfect turkey centerpiece then this won't work, but if you just want the best flavor turkey try this!
