FAVORITE PLUM PIE
Steps:
- 1. Place the oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees. Set out a 9 inch Pyrex pie plate. 2. Strain the juice from the plums into a large saucepan. Cut the plums in half, then half again pitting as you go. Set plums aside. 3. Mix together the sugar, flour and salt in a bowl. Do not skip this step or you'll have flour lumps. Pour the mixtures into the saucepan with the plum juice. Cook the mixture over medium heat stirring often and first, and constantly as the mixture heats. Cook and stir scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoons until the mixture is very thick and gooey. 4. Turn off the heat from under the sauce pan. Add the almond extract and sliced plums and stir to combine. Set aside. 5. Gently Roll out the pie crusts between sheets of wax paper. Stretch the dough an inch or more if you can for the bottom layer. Place the dough into the pie dish and brush lightly with egg white. 6. Next, pour the hot filling into the pie dish arranging the plums around if needed. *Don't overfill the pie. Leave out a little of the juice if it gets too full.* Dot with butter and top with the top crust. Flute and cut vents into the dough. 7. Place a pie shield over the crust and bake pie for 30 minutes. Then remove the pie shield and bake for about 10 more minutes, or until golden brown and done on the bottom. 8. Remove from the oven and cool on a cooling rack for several hours or overnight.
Tips:
- Choose the right plums: Use ripe, firm plums with a good balance of sweetness and tartness. Avoid plums that are too soft or bruised.
- Prepare the plums: Wash and pit the plums. If desired, you can peel the plums before slicing them.
- Use a variety of spices: Common spices used in plum pie include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. You can also add a pinch of cardamom or cloves for a more complex flavor.
- Don't overfill the pie crust: The plums will release a lot of juice as they bake, so it's important to not overfill the pie crust. Otherwise, the pie will be too juicy and the crust will be soggy.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: This usually takes about 45-50 minutes. You can check the pie by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when the pie is done.
- Let the pie cool before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the crust to firm up.
Conclusion:
Plum pie is a classic summer dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its sweet and tart filling and flaky crust, it's the perfect way to end a meal or enjoy a special occasion. So next time you have a few ripe plums on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try!
