I have been adding recipes for a while to a new cookbook so I could find them when I wanted to cook them. In the electronic age, a digital version seems to make more sense, since I can add, amend, advise, adjust, delete, and reconsider as often as I want to and you can access them if and when you please. I've included the recipes from my original cookbook which many of you have. I'm also going to be adding pictures as I retest many of these recipes. They aren't the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. They're comfort food, good memories, treasured family recipes, and occasional treats as well as many healthier recipes I've grown to like in recent years. I encourage you to add comments, pictures, and favorite recipes to make this a real family cooking spot. It's the next best thing to sharing a meal.

Mulberry Pie

 2 sheets pre-made refrigerated pie crust (or homemade if you’re feeling gutsy)
3 ½ cups mulberries, fresh or frozen
Zest of 1 medium orange 
1 tablespoon of orange juice 
1 cup sugar 
⅓ cup flour 
¼ teaspoon salt 
1 tablespoon butter

While you wait for your oven to preheat to 375 degrees, line a 9-inch pan with one sheet of pie crust.  If you’re using frozen mulberries, make sure they fully thaw before proceeding. Mix mulberries with orange zest and orange juice. In a separate bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Then, pour dry ingredients mixture into the mulberry mixture. Mix and pour into the pie crust.  Add small pieces of butter throughout the pie. Finally, add the remaining sheet of pie crust to the top in your desired shape, such as lattice. Crimp the edge of the pie crust, and cover the edges with aluminum foil to prevent burnt edges.  Bake at 375 degrees for one hour.  You’ll know it’s ready when it’s bubbling and oozing from the top crust.   Serve with vanilla ice cream.
