Pie Ordering Details
For the curious (thank you, tuftears) Here are the current details and at least one picture of my pies.
Spicy Pumpkin Pie: Using local-grown heritage pumpkins known for their flavor and fine-grained flesh, this pie is loaded with spices and yet balanced to still bring out the pumpkin goodness. No fluff here, this is a solid pie, capable of being eaten out of hand (as I've done many a time).
Price: $20 per pie
Special deal: 2 pies for $30 if you pre-order.
Special Needs Pie: Allergies? On a diet? I can make the above pumpkin pie Sugar-Free, Gluten-Free, and/or Lactose-Free (and yes, I've made one that was all three). Still every bit as tasty and yet digestable for those who have dietary restrictions.
Price: $20 per pie
Apple Pie: Limited Edition! I managed to harvest a some apples from our backyard tree which is an heirloom variety once popular in Northern California but is now an endangered cultivar. Along with a known great cooking apple, the Braeburn, this pie is flavorful with just a little tartness, stuffed with apples and covered in a lattice crust. I think I have enough apples to make a half-dozen pies, so get your order in early!
Price: $20 per pie
Mincemeat: This year will feature a sampler-pack of mincemeat, as I don't have enough of any one to make whole pies. On the bright side, you can help choose which mincemeat I'll be making for next year! There are three varieties: Elizabethan, PostWar, and Modern.
For those who know they only want one kind of mincemeat, I have the Personal Pie: a small (5") deep dish pie for $8. Specify which mincemeat you want.
You can send me private mail for pie requests. I accept Paypal, checks and cash. First come, first served. I will be making pies through December.

- Elizabethan is close to the ancestoral original mincemeat (I'm still hunting for the Medieval version), and is a SAVORY pie, "completely uncceptable for tea time " -- Hillary Spurling
- PostWar was handed down through the Rombauer family (Of Joy of Cooking fame), and is equal parts meat and fruit, less sweet than a modern recipe but definitely a dessert mincemeat.
- Modern was gleaned from online reasearch and newpaper articles on mincemeat, where there is no longer any meat in the recipe at all. Very much a sweet dessert pie with a hint of savory from suet.
