Making Berry Delicious Pies

Director’s Journal
I love pies. I love making pies. But sometime there isn’t the time, and sometimes the ingredients aren’t there. So, I go to the market and get one already made, and ready for me to pop into the oven.
But who made them? And where did all that fruit come from? Well, I wanted to find out. And, so I did.
That satisfied my curiosity, but Lynn wanted to know how to make fresh pumpkin pie. Very fresh pumpkin, straight from the source. After we talked to Don last time about all his sunflowers on his farm, she went over to check out the pumpkins. Larita came over and answered her questions, and then some. Thanks, Larita!
I wanted to add something new to the show this time. Did you notice? It’s appropriately called how2. It will be in this segment that you will get tips and learn how to do something new. Or maybe something old in a new way. Valerie, from Saint Cupcake, gave a demonstration on how to make a lattice top for a pie. I’ve been doing this myself for years, but she did something I had never seen before, and it makes so much sense. It was one of those, ‘Why didn’t I think of that’ moments.
Speaking of thinking, let me know if you’d like to see more how2s. Send an email or throw in a comment, and, while you’re at it, do you have a pie tip to share? ‘Tis the season.
