What did you bake today ? OK if not from scratch


We get a farm share of fresh fruits and vegies, so it's inspiring.

I made a pork dish with mushrooms, onions, scallions, fresh cilantro, pea pods, and an Asian peanut sauce.

Next will be a Polite Pig copycat watermelon salad with shaved red onion, feta, balsamic, lime, and basil.

Yesterday was Protein bites with Simply Jif, pea protein powder, oat flour, a tiny bit of maple syrup for stick, and some mini dark chocolate chips.

I love to cook.
 
I air fied a single wonton because it broke and I knew it wouldn't hold up to boiling. Dinner was hot and sour soup, sichuan wontons, and sichuan smashed cucumber salad. The air fried wonton was sprayed with avocado oil, and quite tasty. I started cooking when I felt a little hungry and by the time I was done, I was ravenous, so it was extra delicious.
 
Pineapple Pie. I threw caution to the wind and followed an untested online recipe. It looked good on paper, good fruit pie method. I used my go-to butter/lard crust. It turned out beautifully, and the fresh pineapple taste was boosted by undetectable but essential lemon zest and juice. A keeper.

Never thought of putting pineapple in a pie. I’m going to try this. I love pineapple.

My pies never look pretty but taste good. Yours looks great.

Thanks! Mine didn't turn out "pretty," but it sure tasted good. I'd cut the pineapple smaller next time.

It's almost like a peach pie, but with pineapple instead of peaches.

My dad fell in love with pineapple with he was in the Pacific during WWII; he'd never had it before. It was his idea to put pineapple in a pie like this; he convinced the baker at the local supermarket to try it, and it turned out great. He passed away in April, and I wanted to try this out in his memory.

This recipe was 90% there. I'd use a bit less water in the filling, or maybe a tad more cornstarch.

Looks fantastic! I’ve not tried a pineapple pie. Would you mind sharing the recipe?

Happy to share. It's pretty simple, classic double-crust pie method. Filling comes together quickly. Here's the recipe, with my adjustments.

Fresh Pineapple Pie

Filling:
3 cups (24 oz) fresh ripe pineapple (680g), cut into 1ā€ chunks
1 cup white sugar (210g)
1/4 cup water (60g)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
3 tablespoons cornstarch (30g)
1/8 teaspoon salt

Crust:
2 9-inch pie crusts

Extra Sugar for top:
1 Tablespoon white sugar
1 Tablespoon light brown sugar

Instructions

1. Place baking sheet on bottom rack of oven and preheat to 350F.

2. Place one pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, use a fork to prick a few holes to prevent air bubbles,

3. Mix all the filling ingredients together in bowl until pineapple is well-coated. Mix sugars for the top in a small bowl and set aside.

4. Pour the filling into the bottom crust and smooth out.

5. Add top crust, crimp the edges, and cut steam vents.

6. Sprinkle reserved sugars over the top of the pie.

7. Bake on baking sheet, uncovered, for about 1 hour, until golden brown on top. Go by color rather than time.

8. Cool completely on wire rack.
