Very nice pies... and I did notice all metal pans... next time cool on
wire racks.

Looks wonderful. I enjoy baking pies, but I am not good at fluting pie
crust.

You needn't worry about fluting if you get creative.

The daughter's pumpkin uses a store-bought crust (not so creative, but
it works for her), the pecan pie a shortbread crust that is not
rolled, but pressed into the mold (in this case, a 10" springform) and
the mince pie has all the overlapping pastry cut outs.

These pies look beautiful, thanks for the photos. The chocolate pecan
creation is just huge! For that reason alone, I know I would like it. ;-)

Maybe they were already cooled on wire racks.

Taggin' on to Becca here, I think those look wonderful! As to store bought
pie crust, I have been doing that for years. I have tried every recipe for
pie crust and just don't have the knack for them. I would make one standing
right next to my grandmother, do the same things and mine never turned out.
She finally told me that sometimes you are good at one thing and not so good
at others. She told me I bake wonderful cakes and cookies from scratch, and
just go with the 'boughten' crust. Works for me...

Naah, in the pic they were cool though. I just set them on the wood
table to cool.

What would the benefit be of cooling them on a wire rack? Aside from
cooling more quickly.

Don't put them in the window, lest they get stolen by a neighborhood
scalliwag or a cartoon character.

I have to say that the chocolate pecan is my favorite of this bunch,
which is a Good Thing, because I gave up my usual Thanksgiving
favorite of lemon meringue to make it. Even I drew the line at 5 pies
for 5 people.

There was another pie on the table, but it had not arrived when those
photos were taken. One of the twins made a chocolate pie with a
whipped cream topping. He did make his crust from scratch. I had sent
him a file titled "Various Pie Crusts," that had the shortbread crust,
an all butter crust and two variations of butter-Crisco crusts. He
made us of the file.

I did not make my own pie crusts until 6 or 7 years ago. I used a
brand called Oronoque Orchards. They were wonderful, had great
ingredients, and I had no experience whatsoever making crust.

Somehow I decided to take the plunge and never looked back. The edges
do not always look perfect and so I have devised various cosmetic
cover-ups that work quite well.

When my daughter wanted to use a store bought crust this year, we
could no longer find the good ones. The company has been bought out by
Mrs Smith and Oronoque Orchards, which is the name less prominently
displayed on the package, now contains corn syrup. I do not know when
the sell-out happened, as I had not looked at frozen pie crust in
years, but I was saddened anyway.
