How I wish you could have been with us at Hector's in TN, wandering through all kinds of orchards and grazing -- apples, muscadines, blueberries, raspberries, kiwis -- and picking up chestnuts off the ground. It's all organic out there, and it feels like the wonderland of your imagination. And it's easy to feel reverent for it too. I know what you mean.

Of course, we never went in tank tops! It's sweaters and sturdy boots at this time of year. Upstate is a very liberal place, but while apple picking, we used to shudder passing by the shanties on the edge of the farm property. Even in New York, the majority of the harvest is collected by illegal and ill-compensated migrant workers. Politics and apples mix on both sides of the country, it seems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13292807.post-79742623102153565192008-10-20T13:19:00.000-07:002008-10-20T13:19:00.000-07:00Hey Lisl,I've posted the crust recipe before here:...Hey Lisl,<BR/>I've posted the crust recipe before here: (I converted it from a Bobby Flay recipe a while ago, and it's amazing):<BR/>http://www.flickr.com/photos/riveras/1501696460/in/set-72157594506813224/<BR/><BR/>As for the filling, I mushed a few recipes together. I tried something new this time. I tried adding apple jelly:<BR/><BR/>7-8 apples, peeled, cored, thinly sliced<BR/>3TBSP of flour<BR/>2TBSP of apple jelly or jam<BR/>2TBSP of lemon juice, fresh<BR/>1/3 - 2/3 c. sugar (I go back and forth all the time on this)<BR/>1/2 tsp cinnamon<BR/>1/4 tsp nutmeg<BR/>pinch of cloves<BR/>big pinch of sea salt<BR/><BR/>Preheat 400 degrees. Mix all together (I let it sit for an hour to soften and marinate the apples), fold into crust. Cover the outter crust with foil for the first 25min, then cook another 20-25min. Let cool and stand 3 hours on a rack. <BR/><BR/>Hi Reuven, good to see you're No on 8 . . .how ev er, this prop isn't about Mormons vs. Christians, but upholding the rights of all human beings.Diz Riverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04618954577639763316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13292807.post-18113427669588965632008-10-20T12:57:00.000-07:002008-10-20T12:57:00.000-07:00Please see this NO ON 8 message from Christian Min...Please see this NO ON 8 message from Christian Minister Joe Baytzim. <A HREF="http://www.baytzim.com" REL="nofollow">No on 8</A>Reuvenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12261053741867968941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13292807.post-6307483333500362008-10-20T12:53:00.000-07:002008-10-20T12:53:00.000-07:00Any chance you could share the vegan pie and turno...Any chance you could share the vegan pie and turnover recipes??
