Fruit Pies
Iowa State Fair 2011
It was daunting. 16 fresh fruit pies waiting to be judged.
There could be only one winner. Joyce Larson of New Market in Taylor County. She picked her own berries, six kinds, plus some huckleberries she traded with a Washingto State relative. She used a lard crust. She used no tapioca or other binder yet it held together perfectly. Recipe below.
