Everyone else has pumpkin, apple or pecan pie. I wanted to do my own thing, but didn't have a lot of ingredients on hand, so I made a chess pie. I followed this recipe, and added the juice and zest of one lemon, and a cup of frozen blackberries from my garden. Used a frozen crust, blind baked for ten minutes, filled and baked for about an hour at 350. Looks amazing. A Northwest spin on a southern classic. My first chess pie. Can't wait to slice into it. I may have to leave the house while it's cooling.
Sounds like it would smell amazing!! We do pumpkin chiffon--highest maintenance pie ever....besides a meringue of course!
ReplyDeleteConfession: I have never made chess pie. Really must remedy that his year. Yours looks delicious! :-)
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of chess pie either- this looks really yummy.
ReplyDeleteIt's my first chess pie- a success! I had a slice for breakfast with coffee. :)
