Apple Walnut Tart in Sweet Tart Pastry
Pineapple Pie
Milky Way Freezer Box Pie
A few weeks ago, Sophida, Jillian and I had a pie-baking evening. As much fun as it was to bake the pies together, it was even more enjoyable to sample them all together! As you can see from the photos, we were a bit too anxious to cut into them... :) Jenn
I was pretty hesitant to try this pie. Fresh apricots in winter? Rum in a pie? I am so glad that I gave it a shot! It was absolutely delicious... SO good warm.... and something a bit out of the ordinary. Jenn
What fun is going through a pie cookbook if you don't try the "classics," as well? This was a lovely and scrumptious apple pie. Nice and deep with a pretty top crust. I was skeptical about all the apples fitting into the pie plate, but it turned out well. I just kept adding to the large pile and the top crust help them all inside. Jenn
This was a fun pattern to do. The stockinette stitch made it go rather quickly and the stripes kept it interesting. The pattern called for two colors, but I had so much leftover yarn from the sweaters below that I just had to make two unique stripe patterns. I particularly like the detail around the colar and the button opening at the neck.
This was supposed to be a Christmas present for little Ollie... but I didn't get it finished until mid-January. Oops! I'll try posting a photos of Ollie wearing it sometime soon. The pattern didn't call for stripes, but I had extra yarn, so I thought it would be fun. Besides, I think it makes the picot collar a bit less "girly." :) The green yarn is leftover from one of the hooded sweaters I made my boys last year (pictured below). Jenn
This was a straight-forward pear tart. Quite easy and quite delicious. As you can see, I was a bit too impatient and had to sample it before I photographed it!! So it goes... :) Jenn
