bonneamie Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Last night I made a big pot of soup (carrots, sweet potato, and peanut butter soup. delicious) but even better was the pie Josh made for dessert. I think it was the "First-Saturday-in May" pie from the Evan Williams Cooking With Bourbon book. It was fabulous. I may have to make it for Thanksgiving.

Josh Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Nope! That wasn't it, although not too far off. It was Chocolate Walnut Pie from The Bourbon Cookbook by Tom Hoge (Harrisburg: Stackpole, 1975). Got it on Ebay. :grin: Reprinted w/o permission. If Mr. Hoge finds this and objects, I'll apologize and take it down. From page 181.Chocolate Walnut Pie1 9 in. unbaked pastry shell or pie crust2 eggs1 cup sugar1/2 cup melted butter3 tbs. bourbon (I used VOB)1 teaspoon almond extract (I subbed black walnut flavoring)1/4 cup cornstarch1 cup chopped walnuts1 cup semisweet chocolate chipsIn a small mixer bowl, beat eggs slightly and gradually add sugar. Add melted butter, bourbon, and extract and mix well. Blend in cornstarch. Stir in nuts and chocolate chips; pour into unbaked pastry shell. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 min. Cool one hour and serve with a dollop of whipped cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OscarV Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I'll bet that pie went good with a wheated bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I'll bet that pie went good with a wheated bourbon.Shockingly we did not have any bourbon that night with the pie (!), but I just cut myself a slice and poured a few oz. of ORVW 10/107. It is sublime. Right on as always Big Dog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OscarV Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Anything chocolate goes great with bourbon, especially a wheater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nor02lei Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I have been thinking of this one a couple of days now. I am not at all sure about the masseurs, but it seems a bit on the sweet side and not that concentrated. I normally like wheat recipe bourbon with nut desserts/cakes, but rye based bourbons or ryes with plain dark chocolate. However if it tastes like I think it does I would think a dark strong porter/stout would be the best for my personal taste.Leif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMOWK Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 English is an easy language to speak, but hard to spell.Don't feel bad. Most of us can't even get it right. I attribute my good spelling to my mother, who is deaf. I grew up watching the closed caption on the TV my entire life. Everything that was spoken, I also read across the bottom. I think it's a great way to teach your kids how to spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
