  1. My SIL invited everyone to come for thanksgiving, so I volunteered to
    bring pie because it's easy to make in advance and to transport 3+
    hours up the freeway...

    I went to the store for ingredients this afternoon and got a big can
    of pumpkin for the pumpkin pie, a bag of fresh apples for apple pie,
    and two cans of dessert peaches to drain and use in a peach pie. There
    are going to be 20+ people there for the weekend so I need a couple
    more pies to make! Help me out please...

    NOTES : November 28, 2002
    The pumpkin-pecan pie was to-die-for. As soon as I digest some of
    what's already in my stomach, I'm gonna bombard myself with another
    slice of pie. It tastes primarily like a pecan pie, but with a
    delightfully spicy pumpkin undertone (I used Penzey's Pumpkin Pie
    Spice). A definite keeper!

    Cheesecake-Pecan Pie

    Recipe By 😄amsel
    Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
    Categories : cheesecakes Easter
    pies-crusts

    Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
    -------- ------------ --------------------------------
    ---Crust---
    1 stick butter -- chilled
    2 cups flour
    1 egg yolk
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    2/3 cup sour cream
    ---Cheesecake Layer---
    8 ounces cream cheese
    1 large egg
    1/3 cup sugar
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    ---Pecan Pie Layer---
    1 1/4 cups pecans -- coarsely broken
    3 eggs
    1 cup light corn syrup
    1/4 cup sugar
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1/4 teaspoon salt

    Crust:
    Place flour in a medium bowl. Cut in butter until mixture is the size
    of small peas. Add egg, salt, and sour cream. Stir with a fork until
    pastry forms a ball (or use food processor).

    Divide into two parts. If making a single crust pie, refrigerate or
    freeze one portion for another pie.

    Wrap in plastic and chill until stiff enough to work with
    (approximately 45 minutes). When ready to use, roll pastry thinly
    (about 1/8 inch).

    Preheat oven to 350°F.

    Cheesecake Layer:
    With an electric mixer, whip the cream cheese, egg, sugar and vanilla
    until fluffy. Spread the mixture in the bottom of the unbaked pie
    shell.

    Pecan Pie Layer:
    Sprinkle the pecans over the cheese mixture. Beat the eggs with an
    electric mixer until foamy. Add the corn syrup, sugar, vanilla, and
    salt and mix well. Pour over the pecans.

    Bake until center of pie is firm, about 55 minutes. Store in
    refrigerator.

    VARIATION
    Cheesecake-Almond Pie (J. Helman):
    Substitute sliced almonds for the pecans, and almond extract for the
    vanilla.

    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    NOTES : After baking, the pecan filling will be on the bottom, the
    cheesecake layer will be on top of that, and the nuts will form a
    crunchy topping. This is a very rich pie. Cut those pieces small!

    You need a pecan pie. The Karo syrup recipe is a classic:

    Chocolate fudge pie never did no harm, neither.

    Lemon Meringue? (The recipe is on the cornstarch box)

    And you gotta have a pecan pie (I'll post a recipe in a follow-up

    Buttermilk pie is pretty easy, and the old folks especially will like it.

    Peach pie for Thanksgiving? That's a first. IMHO, peach pie is a
    summer pie, but whattheheck.

    I posted a pecan pie a couple of days ago that is perfect every time
    and dead easy:

    @@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format

    Pecan Pie

    desserts

    1 baked pie crust
    6 tablespoon unsalted butter; cut into one inch pieces
    1 cup dark brown sugar; packed
    1/2 teaspoon Salt
    3 large eggs
    1/4 cup light corn syrup
    12 ounces pecans; whole

    1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 275°. Melt
    butter in medium heatproof bowl set in skillet of water maintained at
    just below simmer. Remove bowl from skillet; mix in sugar and salt
    with wooden spoon until butter is absorbed. Beat in eggs, then corn
    syrup and vanilla. Return bowl to hot water; stir until mixture is
    shiny an dhot to the touch, about 130°F. Remove from heat.

    2. Arrange pecans in an even layer in the baked pie shell. Pour
    mixture over evenly. Bake until center feels soft, like gelatin, when
    gently pressed, about 50 to 60 mins. Transfer to rack; let cool
    completely, at least 4 hour. Serve pie at room temperature or warm
    with lightly sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

    Bob's Pecan Pie

    (This is a big recipe -- a 10" or deep dish 9 1/2" pie. It will not fit
    in a 9" pan.)

    4 eggs
    3/4 cup + 1 Tbsp. sugar (just use a slightly rounded 3/4 cup measure)
    1 1/3 cup dark Karo syrup
    7 Tbsp salted butter or margarine
    1 1/2 cup pecan halves

    [note: I usually use 1 cup of pecan halves and 1 cup of chopped walnuts
    instead of 1 1/2 cup pecans]

    I prepare the pastry shell and half-bake it while assembling the
    filling. Notice the filling leaves a leftover 1 Tbsp butter from a
    whole stick. I use it in the pastry dough. I think the recipe works OK
    with an unbaked pie shell, but I don't remember.

    This is about twice as much butter as the recipe on the Karo syrup
    bottle, and I think it makes a big difference in the texture of the pie.
    For a 9" pie, just use the recipe on the back of the Karo syrup bottle,
    but increase the butter to 1/3 cup and add extra chopped nuts.

    If I have light corn syrup instead of dark, I substitute brown sugar
    (packed) for the granulated sugar.

    Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Mix in the syrup
    and sugar, then the eggs. You can turn up the heat a little at this
    point if you want to. Mix continuously with a wire whisk until it is
    hot and starting to change color, but still thin. I've never measured
    it with a candy thermometer, but I guess it's about 150 degrees.
    You should be able to *uncomfortably* stick your finger in the filling
    without getting burned. Be careful not to scramble the eggs. If you
    don't mix the filling well enough, most of the butter floats to the top
    with the nuts when you bake it and the texture is not as good. Add the
    nuts and mix them in well so they get thoroughly coated with the filling
    mixture. Pour the hot filling into the pie shell and bake at 375 until
    it just starts to "souffle" (puff up). By partially cooking the filling,
    the whole filling gets done at about the same time (about 30 minutes)
    and you don't have to mess with putting aluminum foil around the edge of
    the crust to prevent it from scorching or worry about whether the pie is
    done in the middle. Don't try to arrange pecan halves on top -- all the
    nuts need to be mixed in the filling so they float to the top and get
    candied. Start watching the pie at about 20 minutes so you don't
    overbake it. Best served at room temperature. Cut the pieces kind of
    small because it is extremely rich.

    It's a lot easier than it sounds. It's actually easier than the
    traditional method.

    Best regards,
    Bob

    I was going to make pecan pie - I've got pecans... but (whimper) I
    forgot to buy corn syrup at the store! And I spent fifty dollars on
    baking ingredients (it's the church bake sale this weekend, we're
    having a thanksgiving luncheon at church on sunday, plus i have to
    make the pies...) so DH would be really mad if I told him we had to go
    back again! I forgot lemon juice or limes too...

    You need a pecan pie. The Karo syrup recipe is a classic:

    I agree, pecan is one of the best transport pies. It doesn't need
    refrigeration and it isn't prone to slop. It can take a fair amount of
    handling and jostling.

    Added bonus -- fantastic tasting!

    Dawn, sometime try a mixture of 2 TB flour and 2 TB cornstarch. I think it
    gives a nicer texture. Otherwise, your recipe is almost exactly like mine.

    Also at the top of my list, but I don't like the commercial jarred stuff
    and it's a little late to make your own for Thanksgiving. Mine was made a
    couple of months ago.

    In a pinch I have doctored up a jar of mincemeat by adding finely cut
    apple, more currants, a few broken nuts, and some brandy.

    Look for the Crosse & Blackwell brand mincemeat - SO much better than
    the ever-present Nonesuch (which sucks). Pretty hard to tell from good
    home-made (the kind without actual minced meat, that is).

    There
    are going to be 20+ people there for the weekend so I need a couple
    more pies to make! Help me out please...

    Blueberry:

    top & bottom pie crusts
    1 cup sugar
    3 Tb flour
    dash cinnamon
    dash clove
    berries (I use 2 bags of frozen)
    butter

    Mix dry ingredients with thawed berries, pour into your favorite pie
    shell, and top with pats of butter. Cover with 2nd crust and bake
    450F for 15 minutes then lower temp to 350 for another 30 minutes.

    Dawn, sometime try a mixture of 2 TB flour and 2 TB cornstarch. I
    think it gives a nicer texture. Otherwise, your recipe is almost
    exactly like mine.

    I like this one ...it's fast, easy and tasty

    Do you know if it has shredded suet in it, Nancy? I can't recall. I
    don't use minced meat in mine, but I do use the suet.
