Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Summer pear pie

    • hillsboroks on August 26, 2018

      Mace and pears are a perfect pairing. This is the second recipe for a pear pie with mace that I have tried from this book and both are fantastic. I did not use a cheddar crust as called for but rather just a butter/shortening crust that I like. My husband declared this pie the pie of the summer for 2018 after enjoying his first few bites.

  • Rhubarb custard pie

    • vikingcook on June 04, 2017

      Finally! A rhubarb pie recipe with some actual custard! This was delicious and easy. Had to cover the crust edges about halfway through the whole baking process and there was some boil-over so use something underneath to catch drips. I didn't use all the custard mix as there just wasn't enough room in the pie pan with the rhubarb.

  • Apricot-pear pie

    • hillsboroks on February 04, 2017

      This pie ranks as my family's all-time favorite pie. I have made it dozens of times and it is always perfect just as the recipe is written. Friends now request it too. I discovered it one winter about 30 years ago when I was looking for a new pie and wanted to use what I had on hand. I had a pantry full of home-canned pears and apricots so I gave this pie a try. The lemon sour cream custard is rich but not cloying and it nicely sets off the pears and apricots. Always be sure to chill the pie thoroughly before serving. This recipe was also my first introduction to the spice Mace. I have tried a bit of nutmeg in a pinch but mace is what really tastes best on top of this pie. Everyone always comments that this is such a great pie for dessert because with all the fruit in it, it isn't too rich or heavy but has such a wonderful flavor.
