[PW] Re: Unsweetened Plum Pie

[Nina Gilbert]

I don't have the plum pie recipe Karen is looking for, but I am going through a plum phase, I think.  If you're loaded with plums, you might like this plum recipe I invented this summer.


MICROWAVED PLUMS

Slice a plum into wedges, remove the pit and arrange on a plate (plum wedges are skin-side-down).

Microwave for about a minute.

Variation:  you can do more than one plum's worth of slices at a time -- figure a minute per plum, but then round the time down slightly.
 

Enjoy,

Nina Gilbert

....  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.
