'til the season... for pies!
Updated: Nov 9, 2023
Thanksgiving is just around the corner...! Time to plan ahead...and to be sure to leave room for dessert! If you want to make your own pumpkin or apple pies, we have you covered.
[James and I did a spot with Kate on WALL radio, lots of great info in the audio file!] Try our homegrown squash, like "hubbard" or the "milk pan pie pumpkin" (aka "LI cheese pumpkin") - both are great for pies (and you can freeze whatever extra you have, or turn it into another side dish).
Or, of course, our many homegrown apples. Which is the best apple to use for pie? We get this question a lot, and the answer is.... it depends! Like most things, it's personal preference on what apple makes the best pie.
For homemade pies, you can use a blend of apples, or stick with your favorite varieties. And while some folks say no to Macintosh, as they cook way down, others swear by them!
Classics like Northern Spy, Idared, Jonamac, Jonathan, Jonagold, our very own Lady Jean, Stayman Winesap, and Golden Delicious are great for a delicious apple pie. (Don't think you have to follow that recipe that calls for Granny Smith! We think an apple from right here in the Hudson Valley will always beat a Granny shipped from across the country!)
Try cooking down our apple cider into a "cider syrup" and using that as a sweetener, reducing (or eliminating) the need for sugar.
Or just stick to the turkey, and let us do the pies! Order page now up here!
Here's to a fun, safe and pie-filled holiday with family and friends for Thanksgiving 2023!

What makes the experience particularly enjoyable is the freedom to try unexpected combinations, as Infinite Craft allows players to connect seemingly unrelated elements and discover results that can lead to even more creative experiments.
The pie tips and apple suggestions are perfect for getting into the Thanksgiving spirit! On a lighter note, when I have some free time after all that cooking, I like playing Rocket Goal —it’s a fun little way to relax and unwind.
I love the idea of using local ingredients for holiday baking. Fresh apples, homemade cider syrup, and seasonal squash can make classic pies feel even more special. It’s great when traditions connect with local farms and creativity. When I take a break after cooking, I enjoy Eaglercraft, a browser-based sandbox game where you can build, explore, and create without downloading anything.
