Yesterday the first thing on my to-do list was to make two cherry pies. A family favorite, the recipe from my Grandma Honeywell has been used in our family since 1955.
It can be a bear to make. Most scratch pies are, but they and this pie are worth it. However, I was feeling weak and tired and was rolling around with my walker. Honestly, I was not sure how I would get those pies made.
Enter Kyle.
"Need any help?" he asked. Boy howdy, I was so relieved I thought I might cry then and there.
What began with just a few requests to get the pie plates down from the cupboard and open the cans of cherries so I could make the filling soon turned into a joint pie baking effort.
It was so much fun. It was also so helpful.
Making scratch pie dough is a messy process.
The first pie was ready to go into the oven in far less time than usual.
And the second one was put together just as quickly. We vented the pies with my Grandma Honeywell's signature design and popped them into the oven.
A half hour later we had two beautiful cherry pies ready for Thanksgiving dinner.
We also made a memory together, one that I will always cherish. Thanks, Kyle. I don't think I could've made those pies this year without your help. xo
Here's a step by step blog post with the recipe and how to make the pie.
Cherishing cherry memories. Thank you Kyle and Lynn.
ReplyDeleteThose pies look delicious from the outside! I hope you take a picture of a slice so we can see the filling. Enjoy your day!
