Subject: [PW] Unsweetened Plum Pie


Hi All,

  I haven't been subscribed to the list since it was Stumpers, and I've
really missed it!  I am the patron here, so no hurry:

  I just bought a house with a plum tree laden with ripe fruit.  My husband
keeps talking about a pie his mother used to make.  It had a single pastry
crust, and was unsweetened.  The family would spoon sugar on the individual
slices.  My mother-in-law was a native New Yorker, and she would have made
the pie in the 50s and 60s.

  Apparently, the sugar thing was not a recipe error, since she always made
the pie this way.  I'm thinking it might be a regional delicacy, or perhaps
it's got a special name that I haven't hit on, since I haven't been able to
turn anything up yet.

  Are any of you familiar with a pie like this?  My husband hasn't SAID it
would make his life complete if I make the pie, but since he brings it up
every time we talk about the plum tree, I know it would make him very happy.
Thanks for any help.
