On a very cool autumn morning open every window in the house. Now you can make pretty much any pastry.

I love baking, but my bottom crusts on pies seldom come out right so I've switched to crumbles, which are just as good though not nearly as pretty.

Lookin' good so far, fren.
Word of advice for future pie (or crumble, if this doesn't work out for you): freeze the fruits for your filling first then thaw them and put into a container with sugar and cornflour or surjel and shake to combine and, finally, pour out into your baking dish/pie crust. idky, but it really helps the filling hold its shape when you slice into your pie. Those times I've baked the pie properly, it looked fantastically good. Also, I only do lattice tops. Really hate coffin-lid pies so if you find it doesn't work out for you, consider going lattice top next time.

Working with pie dough isn't super complicated but there's definitely a bit of a knack to it. Mostly about making sure it's the right temperature, not overworking it, shaping it before chilling, letting it relax where necessary, etc.

In certain climates people would store very large amounts of water in a well insulated room. During the winter all the water would freeze and keep the room cool until the next winter where it would freeze again.

i always bake pies on a baking sheet for this reason. good job, the pies will look neater as you make more. my only worry is it might have needed a bit longer in the oven? hard to judge without eating the bottom crust, just a guess

They used to keep it in a butter cellar up to 30 feet underground. Most patissiers of the day worked in cellars.

Glad it worked out for you! Blueberry rhubarb isn't something I've ever done but I have made cherry rhubarb sauce for pan-seared duck breasts so I'm sure their tart flavour would pair just as well with bloobs as it does with cherries and strawbs.

Tbh i didnt put a lot of thought into it its just what i have on hand
>>19255616
Good luck. Please make a thread when you do
>>19255890
Its not really sweet but yeah raw its like tart celery but when you cook it it turns custardy and not fibrous at all
>>19256126
>Do you live in the midwest? I've never heard anyone say that before now
No lol but ive heard it a lot that its way more expensive and wont turn out as good
People are weirdly demotivational about things they dont want to understand i guess

Thanks for all the kind words anons, wish i could share it with you !
