Spiced Plum Cream Pie

 

Spiced Plum Cream Pie

Published in Carolina Country April 2020

Looking for something “plum good?”  Here you go!  This pie is super simple… and oh so creamy with spiced plums nestled into the creamy goodness.  Perfect for your Easter table… 

 

This is one of those recipes you can twist up, and use other fruits instead of plums… depending on what is in season and what you have on hand.  Soon, I want to try this with bananas… and make a banana cream pie, with a dollop of whipped cream, of course. Doesn’t that sound tasty?  Stuck at home because of Ms. Corona, I think I have all the ingredients to make one… guess I’ll have to invite folks to come have some handed out the door on a paper plate.

 

I hope you will give this one a try… and come chat about it in my fun facebook community too. 

And stay safe… hopefully she will be gone soon and we can return to somewhat normalcy.  

Spiced Plum Cream Pie

Sometimes, a simple pie is all that’s needed to round out Easter lunch or a spring supper… or just to enjoy all by itself. Not a plum fan? You can sub other fruits like summer peaches with the same tasty outcome!

How long has it been since you’ve made popovers? These light and puffy pastries are so good, and can be sweet or savory to suit your fancy. Enjoy these lightly sweet popovers as a side for my rustic mushroom soup. Nice and buttery too…
