    • Fresh Cherry Pie

      Posted at 9:03 am by NativeNM, on June 19, 2012

      I call this my humble pie.  I love pies and I love making pies but I’m still working on my pie dough skills.  It’s a work in progress and with trial and error I’m learning something new each time I put a pie together.   The first time I ever made a cherry pie with fresh cherries I thought it was the best thing I’d ever ate.  I like sweet cherries better than sour but I would not recommend Bing cherries as they tend to be hard and don’t cook down the way other cherries do.  The cherries were on sale this week so I picked up a few to bring home just to eat.  They had that taste and texture that I knew would make a great pie so I went back and picked up enough to make two.

    • Chocolate Pie with Whipped Cream

      Posted at 8:30 am by NativeNM, on June 12, 2012

      This is the pie of my dreams, a rich creamy chocolate pie topped with whipped cream.  This is the kind of pie that melts in your mouth good and puts a goofy smile on your face.  I’ve been searching for the perfect pie recipe and came across this one originally from Sunset Magazine, August 2007 that caught my eye.  Originally I had been looking for a meringue pie and even had my Mom send me her recipe but in the end this is what I went with.  It took me 2 days but it was worth it.  We ate part of it cold out of the fridge and I froze half to see what that would taste like.  It was equally delicious!

    • Peach Blackberry Cobbler

      Posted at 8:52 am by NativeNM, on April 3, 2012

      I just spent a week in my Native New Mexico.  It was a memorable week spent with family on the farm with a side trip to visit my sister Kat.  Being surrounded by guys every day, it was so much fun spending time with the girls.  We had two days of shopping, talking and eating great food.  Leading up to the trip, I was reminiscing about my Mom’s cobbler.  She doesn’t make it as often these days but in my memories her fruit cobblers were the absolute best.  My favorite recipe is from an old cookbook by the Progressive Farmer.  It’s so versatile in that you can use almost any fruit, fresh or frozen, and it turns out great.  I had peaches and blackberries in the freezer which turned out to be a perfect combination.  The topping is unusual in the making but I know you’ll love the results.  Just don’t count any calories, that would spoil all the fun!

    • Deep Dish Peach Pie

      Posted at 8:26 am by NativeNM, on August 29, 2011

      The best dessert is Pie, at least according to me.  Peach pie is my favorite and I make it as soon as the peaches are good and ripe.   I used the Combination Butter and Shortening Crust posted by Simply Recipes, which gives really good instructions.  I will tell you that it takes some practice, or maybe I should say I need practice.  This deep dish pie takes a lot of peaches to fill it.  I piled 4 pounds of peaches into this pie.  I don’t know if you would say it looks pretty, but it tasted pretty darn good!
