cherry pie... tapioca ( for thickening ) or not?
ok.. moving on from pecans...
When I make my black forest cake I just use a bit of cornstarch mixed with water. It makes the cherries look clouded at first but they boil up to be clear and glossy.
Never tried tapioca. I use corn starch as well, but I actually prefer arrowroot-but have never tried to find it since living in Switzerland. Any ideas whether it might be found here?
sorry.. no ... neverfound it.
.
now... on to the pie...
as I said this was my first pecan pie... and I made a couple of mistakes
( pecan - chocolate pie... followed one recipe but bittersweet chocolate took over from the pecans )
and... cooked it a bit too long :-( ( the exposed crust is overdone )
( and as per someones suggestion above.. served with a dollop of bourbon-cream
EDIT.... Arrowroot found
arrowroot and golden syrup on the same page... looks like pie heaven!
Search for it on Pinterest.
I just joined, and I found so many great recipes there, including a recipe for Pecan Pie bars.
I bet they have a fantastic Pecan Pie recipe there!
Loves it!
