DESSERTS, DESSERTS AND MORE DESSERTS
THIS ENTIRE WEBSITE SHOULD BE ENTITLED "PIES" BECAUSE MAKING
THEM IS MY TRUE LOVE. HOWEVER, ONE CANNOT LIVE BY PIE ALONE;
AS A RESULT, I'VE BROADENED MY SCOPE TO INCLUDE OTHER EQUALLY
DELICIOUS FOODS AND, OF COURSE, DESSERTS. BUT WITH PIES I WILL
START.........
PIES
ALL PIE VARIETIES ARE MADE WITH OUR OWN MADE-FROM-SCRATCH
CRUST (NOTHING FROM A BOX HERE!). THE REST, AS THEY SAY, IS
HISTORY. PLEASE PRE-ORDER TO ENSURE AVAILABILITY.
BANANA CREAM PIE (#1 SELLER)
MOST COMPLAIN THE TYPICAL BANANA CREAM PIE IS NOTHING MORE THAN
A VANILLA PUDDING WITH BANANAS THROWN IN. NOT THE CASE HERE!
OUR CREAMY CUSTARD FILLING HAS REAL BANANA FLAVOR ADDED IN AND
BANANA SLICES ARE LAYERED ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CRUST AND ON
TOP OF THE CUSTARD BEFORE REAL WHIPPED CREAM IS BILLOWED ON
TOP. CRUSHED HEATH BARS TOP IT OFF FOR EFFECT AND CRUNCH. YOU
WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.
PRICE $12.00 (9" PIE)
COCONUT CREAM PIE
THIS PIE IS A MUST FOR COCONUT FANS. A CREAMY CUSTARD HAS THE
RIGHT AMOUNT OF TOASTED COCONUT MIXED IN, AND AS IMPORTANTLY,
COCONUT OIL IS ADDED TO PRODUCE THE TASTE YOU WANT. TOPPED
WITH REAL WHIPPED CREAM AND MORE TOASTED COCONUT, AND WE'RE
OFF TO THE RACES!
PRICE $12.00 (9" PIE)
CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE
THIS TASTES LIKE A GIANT CHOCOLATE CANDY BAR! PREMIUM MILK
CHOCOLATE IS ADDED TO AS CREAMY CUSTARD TO PRODUCE A SMOOTHER-
THAN-SILK FILLING. ALSO AVAILABLE IN DARK CHOCOLATE, PRODUCING A
LESS-SWEET CUSTARD. FOR THOSE PREFERRING THE LATTER, A COMBINATION
OF MILK AND DARK CHOCOLATE IS RECOMMENDED TO PREVENT A BITTER
TASTE. REGARDLESS OF THE CHOICE, REAL WHIPPED CREAM IS THE TOPPER,
WITH CHUNKS OF CHOCOLATE ADORNING THE TOP.
PRICE - $15.00 (9" PIE)
LEMON MERINGUE PIE
OUR OWN BILLOWY, LEMON FILLING IS THE BASIS OF THIS TRADITIONAL
FAVORITE. A FLUFFY MERGINUE, SEALING IN THIS FILLING, IS QUICKLY
ADDED AND BROWNED TO A LIGHT GOLDEN BROWN.
PRICE - $12.00 (9" PIE)
APPLE PIE (DOUBLE CRUST OR CRUMB TOPPED)
CHUNKS OF APPLES ARE HAND-CUT INTO SIZABLE CHUNKS (TO PREVENT
MUSHINESS DURING BAKING), COATED WITH SUGAR AND APPLE PIE
SPICES AND MARINATED FOR AT LEAST A COUPLE OF DAYS TO ALLOW
THE SPICES TO ABSORB. THESE GEMS ARE THEN PILED INTO THE CRUST,
TOPPED WITH EITHER A CRUST OR A BROWN SUGAR/FLOUR/BUTTER/OATMEAL
TOPPING (TYPICALLY CALLED "DUTCH APPLE"), AND THEN BAKED UNTIL THE JUICES
BUBBLE AND THE APPLES ARE TENDER. OH, THE SMELL!
PRICE - $12.00 (9" PIE)
PUMPKIN PIE
THIS RECIPE WAS FOUND IN A FAIRLY OLD CHURCH COOKBOOK FROM
WINNIPEG, AND IT'S THE BEST ONE I'VE EVER FOUND. PURE 100%
CANNED PUMPKIN, CREAM, MILK, EGGS AND A MULTITUDE OF SPICES
BASICALLY MAKE UP THIS TREAT. SURPRISED BY CANNED PUMPKIN?
WE FOUND THE FRESH PUMPKIN WAS TOO RUNNY; THEREFORE, OUR
CHOICE OF CANNED.
PRICE $12.00 (9" PIE)
PECAN PIE
LOADS OF WHOLE PECANS AND A SYRUPY FILLING MAKE UP THIS POPULAR
HOLIDAY PIE THAT'S AVAILABLE ALL YEAR. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED AT
THE RESULT!
PRICE $15.00 (9" PIE)
STRAWBERRY/RHUBARB PIE
GENERALLY A SPRING-TIME TREAT, FRESH, RIPE STRAWBERRIES AND
YOUNG TENDER RHUBARB ARE COMBINED TO PRODUCE AN OLD-
TIME FAVORITE YOU MAY NOT HAVE HAD FOR YEARS, IF EVER. GIVE
IT A TRY!
PRICE $12.00 (9" PIE)
MINCE PIE OR TARTS
AN ENGLISH CONTRIBUTION, MINCEMEAT PIES OR TARTS OFFER A NICE
ADDITION WHEN SOMETHING DIFFERENT IS DESIRED. MOST POPULAR ARE
THE TARTS - SMALL PIES WITH THEIR OWN CRUST TOPPING BAKED IN
MUFFIN TINS.
PRICE $15.00 (9" PIE); $3.50 PER TART
OTHER DESSERTS
APPLE CRISP
IT'S LIKE WALKING INTO GRANDMA'S HOUSE WHEN WE'RE BAKING.
HAND-CUT, CHUNKED APPLES ARE MARINATED IN SUGAR AND SPICES
FOR AT LEAST A COUPLE OF DAYS, THEN TOPPED WITH A BROWN SUGAR/
BUTTER/FLOUR/ROLLED OATS TOPPING. THE SMELL OF THE CINNAMON
IS INTOXICATING, AS IT WILL BE IN YOUR KITCHEN WHEN YOU'RE WARMING
IT UP.
PRICE $12.00 - 2 LB; $6.00 - 1 LB.
CHERRY CRISP
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT WE USE FRESH CHERRIES FOR THIS TREAT,
BUT THE COST TO YOU WOULD BE OUTRAGEOUS. AS A RESULT, WE USE
PREMIUM, CANNED BING CHERRIES AND INCORPORATE THEM INTO A
SAUCY OFFERING. THE TOPPING IS STANDARD - BROWN SUGAR/FLOUR/
BUTTER/ROLLED OATS - BUT THIS DESSERT IS ANYTHING BUT!
PRICE $15.00 - 2 LB; $7.50 - 1 LB.

THE ESSENCE OF OUR BREAD PUDDING IS CHALLAH BREAD AND/OR
CROISSANTS, WHICH MAKES A GREAT BEGINNING. THE OTHER PART IS
THE CUSTARD - A MIX OF CREAM, MILK, EGGS, SUGAR AND A TOUCH
OF BOURBON. THE LOAVES ARE BAKED UNTIL THE CUSTARD IS SET AND
VOILA, YOU HAVE DESSERT!
PRICE $10.00 - 2 LB.; $5.00 - 1 LB.
