AUNT HELEN'S FRIED PEACH PIES

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the first four ingredients in 2 qt heavy sauce pan. Bring to boil. Stirring occasionally.
  • 2. Boil for about 30 minutes on med/high heat then reduce heat to medium. Stirring occasionally.
  • 3. Continue to boil on medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 30 more minutes. As peaches become tender and syrup begins to thicken, mash and cut peaches with a spoon until they become like pie filling.
  • 4. Roll out biscuits on a floured surface to about a 5 inch oval shape (I use parchment because it won't stick).
  • 5. Fill the dough with about 1 1/2 tablespoon of cooled filling. Fold over and crimp and seal edges.
  • 6. Fry in skillet with about 1/2 inch deep (hot) Crisco. Fry on med/low heat 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Fry 2-3 pies at a time.
  • 7. Remove to absorbent paper towels.
  • 8. *Note: May use 1/4 cup less sugar if you don't like them as sweet.

2 pkg Sun-Maid dried peach halves (6 oz each)
4 c water
1 1/2 c sugar*
2 pinch salt
dash(es) nutmeg or cinnamon (optional)
2 can(s) Hungry Jack flaky biscuits
2 c Crisco (for frying)
MAY COOK FILLING AHEAD AND KEEP IN REFRIGERATOR FOR 2 OR 3 DAYS UNTIL READY TO USE.

JULIA CHILD'S AUNT HELEN'S FLUFFY PUMPKIN PIE

This recipe was published in Parade in November 1982, when Julia Child was writing a recipe column for the magazine. As all cooks (and writers) know, Thanksgiving is an adventure and a challenge: how to come up with fresh ideas that keep the dish on the right side of tradition? In this pie, Mrs. Child's addition of molasses, extra spices and especially bourbon breathe new life into the filling. If you like your desserts on the spicy side, add an extra tablespoon of molasses and a pinch of black pepper.

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees and place rack in center of oven. Separate eggs and set aside.
  • Using a mixer, blender or large bowl, blend pumpkin, the 2 cups of the sugars, 1 teaspoon salt, molasses, bourbon or rum (if using), cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, egg yolks, cream and milk until smooth. Add more milk, a tablespoon at a time, if the mixture is stiff: it should be a soft purée.
  • In a clean bowl, whip egg whites until foaming. Whip in a pinch of salt, then gradually whip in remaining 2 tablespoons sugar until shiny white peaks form. Beat 1/4 of the whites thoroughly into pumpkin mixture; gently fold in the rest.
  • Immediately ladle filling into the shells, filling to just below the rim of the pan. Place in oven and bake just until rim of crust begins to turn gold, 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 and bake another 25 to 30 minutes, until a tester inserted into the filling 2 inches from the rim comes out clean. (The center should still be a bit wet; it will cook more as it cools.) If the rim of the crust starts to get too brown, cover it with aluminum foil.
  • Immediately turn oven off, leave door ajar (stick in a wooden spoon to hold it open if necessary) and let sit 20 to 30 minutes more as the oven cools; this will prevent the filling from turning watery. Serve warm, or let cool, wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Let pie come to room temperature before serving.

AUNT HELEN'S PECAN BALLS

  • After the pie dough chills, adjust oven rack to the lower third position and preheat to 350°F (177°C).
  • Roll out the chilled pie crust onto a lightly floured surface. Remember, when rolling out the pie dough, always use gentle force with your rolling pin. Start from the center and work your way out in all directions, rotating the dough with your hands as you go. Roll it out into a circle 12 inches in diameter. Carefully place the dough in a 9×2 inch pie dish. Tuck it in with your fingers, making sure it’s smooth. For a beautiful edge, as shown in the video above, fold the overhanging dough back over the edge and use your hands to mold the edge into a nice thick rim around the pie. Crimp the edges with a fork or use your fingers to flute the edges. Again, you can see me do this in the video above. Brush the edges with egg wash. (To help guarantee a beautiful edge, I always chill the shaped dough in the pie dish for 10 minutes in the refrigerator or freezer before filling.)
  • Very roughly chop the pecans– some whole, some lightly chopped is fine. Spread pecans evenly inside pie crust. Whisk the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, vanilla, melted butter, salt, and cinnamon together in a large bowl until combined. Pour over pecans.
