i agree with Carol. Helicopters are unstable rght side up and would be impossible upside down.

Stable? Isn't that where the horses go to bed? I am not sure I would care for straw and horse droppings in my pudding, thank you very much!

Oh yes, this is the thread! ** giggling madly ** It won't be home-made, but there's a fabulous restaurant that makes the very best bumbleberry pie nearby and I'll be glad to buy enough pies for everyone to have several pieces.

Bumbleberry Pie

INGREDIENTS
(Nutrition)
* 690 g all-purpose flour
* 2 g salt
* 410 g shortening
* 180 ml cold water
* 1 egg
* 15 ml vinegar
* 500 g apples - peeled, cored and chopped
* 245 g chopped fresh rhubarb
* 310 g sliced fresh strawberries
* 290 g fresh blueberries
* 245 g fresh raspberries
* 30 ml lemon juice
* 400 g white sugar
* 85 g all-purpose flour
* 15 g tapioca
* 1 egg yolk, beaten
* 30 ml water

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening until
mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk together 3/4 cup water, egg, and
vinegar. Stir into flour until mixture forms a ball. Divide dough into
4 balls. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 4 hours, or overnight.
Roll out dough portions to fit a 9 inch pie pan. Place bottom crusts in
2 pie pans. Set aside top crusts.
In a large bowl, combine apples, rhubarb, strawberries, blueberries,
raspberries, and lemon juice. Mix together 2 cups sugar, 2/3 cup flour,
and tapioca; gently toss with fruit mixture. Divide into 2 pastry lined
pie pans. Cover with top crusts; trim and crimp edges. Brush tops with
egg wash (1 egg yolk beaten with 2 tablespoons water). Cut a few slits
in the top to allow steam to vent.
Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until filling is bubbly
in center and top is golden brown.

The last pie I made was a mud pie. Does that count?

Subject: Re: Tara picnic thread Tue May 19, 2009 7:15 am

Sure, Abe. We can hone your skills at the picnic. I am hoping you will join us!

Shelagh, that sounds like a great recipe.
