Tazz whats up budd? I just Randomely came across that Black Cherry rubarb recipie you gave me last year and am planing on makeing it. I have grown both Rubarb and Strawberry-Rubarb and was woundering which u thought would go best with the cherrys? Your insperation had me practice last night on two Strwberry, Strawberry-Rubarb pies one of which I toped with Orange sliced, slices lol they came out tastin Awsome! but of course not perfect I didnt use any thickner, Waht should I use for that? Pie in a bowl by Joe, LMAO. Grand afternoon Joe; In pies I like to use Cornstarch, Arrowroot, or Tapioca powder. They allow the color of the fruit to remain the same. I just made a cherry and strawberry Crisp. Everyone that sampled the crisp said they indeed like it very much. Of course they could of been just nice. For a pie I would use 2 tbsp of cornstarch for a grand firm filling. For a pie I would use 1 tbsp of arrowroot. For a pie I would use 2 tbsp of tapioca powder. For reheating the pie the arrowroot and the tapioca will not break down as much as the cornstarch would. I may make a beery pie with all the fruits if you indeed like them all. I would use maybe a 1 to 2 tbsp of corn syrup or karo syrup. Along with some honey to bind the fruit favors together. Use maybe a addition of 1 more tbsp of cornstarch. Hope this does indeed help Joe. This is my recipe for Cherry Strawberry Fruit Pie. CHERRY BERRY PIE 1 #2 can pie cherries, drain and save juice 2 package of frozen strawberries, thaw and save juice 1 cup of pure cane sugar 1 tbsp of dark brown sugar 1 tbsp of karo syrup 1/4 tsp of allspice 1/4 tsp sea salt 2 tbsp of quick cooking tapioca 2 tbsp of cornstarch 1 tsp. lemon juice 4 pats of un-salted sweet butter Combine sugars, salt, tapioca, and cornstarch; stir well in saucepan. Blend in karo syrup and fruit juices. Cook until thick and clear, stirring constantly (5 to 8 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in drained fruit and lemon juice. Pour into 9 inch pie shell. Place pats of butter on top of the filling. If you wish to top the pie with a crust, use the lattice top, weaving two inch wide strips of pie dough. Bake at 425 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes. |
