Drunkin' Pie

An "Apple Pie with Whisky-Soaked Cherries" cools on the kitchen counter. Recipe is compliments of Bon Appetit (October 2005).

For years I have blithely broken the rule of not trying out a recipe for the first time on guests. When else? Of course the cook must have confidence and experience and a 6th sense (more due to experience) of what the final taste sensation will be.

The pie is interesting because there is a lot of powdered sugar in the crust. Tastes good and very fragile. I drank the remains of the Scotch whiskey the cherries had macerated in. Waste not, want not. The pie called for Golden Delicous, not a conventional choice.

It looks fantastic. S.O. is going to take a photo so you can all drool together.

My web site is almost ready for prime time. I'll post a link when it's finally out on the web.
In the meantime, here is a Thanksgiving link that we should all take to heart.
