The subtle tastes of orange and nutmeg bring out the fresh flavor of plums in this comforting pie. Be sure to have a slice while it's still warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. âLucille Mead, Ilion, New York Ingredients:
pastry for double-crust pie (9 inches) |
4-1/2 cups sliced fresh plums |
2/3 cup sugar |
1/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
1/2 cup orange juice |
1 teaspoon grated orange peel |
2 tablespoons butter |
vanilla ice cream, optional |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°. Line a 9-in. pie plate with bottom pastry; trim even with edge. Arrange plums in crust. In a small bowl, combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. Stir in egg, orange juice and peel. Pour over plums; dot with butter.
2. Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie; place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edges. Cut slits in pastry.
3. Bake 45-50 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly (cover edges with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary). Cool on a wire rack 10 minutes before cutting. Serve warm with ice cream if desired. Yield: 8 servings.
