Heaps of good stories, fun conversation, and smiles. Once again, we’ve witnessed the mathmagical truth, that just as the ratio between a circle’s circumference and diameter is constant – so is the ratio between our levels of delight and the scale of enthusiasm, support, and engagement of our community.
What is a vinegar pie?
Hello Mary! I got the recipe from Randi, she was happy to share – it’s originally from a book called “Come and Get it, a Cowboy Cookbook”, but modified. 3/4c vinegar, 1 1/2 c water, 3/4-1 c sugar, 1/3 c fat (she used crisco baking stick, but you could use butter). Melt lump of fat (butter or crisco) and some flour (1/3c ish) together, add vinegar, mix and boil until thick. Bake in a pie shell, lattice top. 350 deg F, for 45 minutes (ish), until it’s done.
The general consensus was it was refreshing, tart, and tastes a bit like kombucha pie.
Ditto on the vinegar pie question… pray tell!
Hahahaha! Konbucha pie! As I was reading the recipe I was actually thinking that to myself!
