The year 2011, most of the kids came up for Thanksgiving. We had a scrumptious and plentiful dinner, which included all our favorites and traditional dishes. Like turkey and dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, brown glazed carrots, stuffing and cranberry sauce, homemade rolls, apples and yams, cheese stuffed celery and olives, and bread and butter pickles.
And then we made pie... lots of pie! Chocolate, Banana Cream, Pumpkin Turtle, Cherry, Apple (with fancy lattice strips), and mom's Sugar Pie! What a special treat!
Who can not remember those fond memories of home as kids when we anxiously awaited for mom's Sugar Pie. I remember mom rolling out the left over pie crust, with help from us kids. Then we would sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over top and slide the pie pan in the oven. I remember peering through the glass window of the range, watching and waiting... waiting and watching. I could hardly wait for Sugar Pie to come out of the oven. As soon as it was cooled enough, we each got to break a piece off to eat. Sugar Pie was such a treat because we got to eat it even before Thanksgiving dinner began.
Mom's Sugar Pie will be on the menu again this year!
How about you? What are you fixing for Thanksgiving this year?
Happy Birthday mother! I love and miss you so much.

Wow, I have heard Sugar Pie used as a form of endearment, but I didn't know it is an actual food product! LOL! Looks relish -and easy. Think I may try it-exept I have to use gluten-free flour.
ReplyDeleteThat should be looks "delish" not "relish!" LOL!
