What did you bake today ? OK if not from scratch

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 1” 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.
Thank you!! I’m excited to try it.
 

It’s not a baked good, but I took advantage of some great looking eggplant at the market and made Pasta alla Norma, a Sicilian favorite. Fried eggplant in a spicy tomato sauce with garlic and anchovy. I finished it with cubes of melty mozzarella because I couldn’t find the traditional ricotta salata, a salty, hard ricotta.

I just made Chicken Piccata for our dinner tonight, we will also have fresh asparagus. I made enough to freeze a dinner for another night. I love meals that I can make once and eat twice (or more). When it's time for dinner, I will heat tonight's portion and the best part is all the mess is already cleaned up. I like to cook but I don't like a big mess to clean up after dinner which is why I make earlier in the day. I can't wait for dinner! 😉
