Subj : Cramping To : Shawn Highfield From : Ruth Haffly Date : Sat May 25 2024 15:14:06 Hi Shawn, RH> Other alternative is to cut it into slices, individually wrap and freeze RH> them. Then, every time you want pie, pull out a slice and defrost it. SH> That's a good idea. I do have the sucky-bag machine after Dave kept SH> talking about how handy they were. I've had a number of those machines over the years, have some sausages that Steve got at Costco the other day that needs bagging before going into the freezer. Use the delicate (no suction) or whatever they call it on your cheesecake; you don't want it to suck out all the air and squash the cheesecake. RH> I don't make it that often either, but just before I sat down to do RH> mail, I mixed up the crust for a fresh strawberry pie. It's now chilling RH> before being rolled out and baked, after baking I'll prep the berries RH> and thickener while the crust cools. SH> Yum. Still a few weeks away from Stawberrys here I think. We're moving into blueberry season in the next couple of weeks. The crust didn't turn out that well but the pie was over all good. I think next week I'll pull a small bag of rhubarb out of the freezer & make a small strawberry/rhubarb pie to use up the strawberries on hand. --- Catch you later, Ruth rchaffly{at}earthlink{dot}net FIDO 1:396/45.28 ....
