I got a card today with a gift certificate enclosed, and this is a good one.

We have a store here that only sells homemade pies. It's called "Just Pies" :)and I hear it is to die for. Take a look:

They have 3 stores. The certificate is good for the month of January, and you have to call and order in advance. I get a free 10" pie of my choice.

My problem:

Butterscotch crème w/meringue ?
Peach ?
Cherry ?

Decisions, decisions.

Rhubarb and Pecan also look interesting......
 

I vote for the cherry AC, I just brought home a Village Pie Maker cherry pie and it's still in the freezer (bake at home), because we have to finish off the Patti LaBelle's sweet potato pie first. But I love cherry pies plain, with ice cream or heavy cream.
 

Made a reminder note to order a few days before I'm having company. Otherwise I might have to eat the whole thing myself, and that would be a shame.:playful:

Nah, I get this one free. I read on their website they use lard in their crusts. Interesting.

I'm leaning towards butterscotch meringue and I don't trust my skills for that.

OMG, lard in the crust???? Manna from heaven! My grandmothers used lard and their piecrusts were to die for. I apparently did not inherit the pie-making gene because my pie crusts look like wolverines have been chewing on them. Lard in the crusts is a Pennsylvania Dutch thang......are you in an Amish area of Pennsylvania?

I'm in Ohio. But yrs ago I had some baked goods from Amish market. Yum.

I actually "meant" Ohio. My fingers typed Pennsylvania. My mind and my fingers don't always see eye to eye. My sister used to live in Youngstown and there were a fair amount of Amish in the area. When I visited her, we'd always eat at an Amish restaurant that was guaranteed to close down your arteries for good.
 
I've been to the Clintonville store several times. As it turns out, their pies are , well, just pies. Nothing like my grandmothers used to make.

But enjoy, and Merry Christmas to all.

Peace and love

In England we tend to think of pies as savoury, though of course we have sweet ones too. Here's one to drool over! : )
