FAVORITE PLUM PIE



Favorite Plum Pie image

I know there are lots of pie recipes on AllRecipes.com. I only found one for classic plum pie, and lots for cherry pie, but each had features I didn't care for, so I combined what I thought were the best parts, and this is the result. This recipe is easily doubled, tripled, or whatever, depending on the amount of fruit you have.

Yield 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (15 ounce) cans Oregon Whole Purple Plums in Heavy Syrup
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup flour
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon almond extract
Butter for dotting pie
1 box Pillsbury Pie Crusts
1 egg white

Steps:

  • 1. Place the oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees. Set out a 9 inch Pyrex pie plate. 2. Strain the juice from the plums into a large saucepan. Cut the plums in half, then half again pitting as you go. Set plums aside. 3. Mix together the sugar, flour and salt in a bowl. Do not skip this step or you'll have flour lumps. Pour the mixtures into the saucepan with the plum juice. Cook the mixture over medium heat stirring often and first, and constantly as the mixture heats. Cook and stir scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoons until the mixture is very thick and gooey. 4. Turn off the heat from under the sauce pan. Add the almond extract and sliced plums and stir to combine. Set aside. 5. Gently Roll out the pie crusts between sheets of wax paper. Stretch the dough an inch or more if you can for the bottom layer. Place the dough into the pie dish and brush lightly with egg white. 6. Next, pour the hot filling into the pie dish arranging the plums around if needed. *Don't overfill the pie. Leave out a little of the juice if it gets too full.* Dot with butter and top with the top crust. Flute and cut vents into the dough. 7. Place a pie shield over the crust and bake pie for 30 minutes. Then remove the pie shield and bake for about 10 more minutes, or until golden brown and done on the bottom. 8. Remove from the oven and cool on a cooling rack for several hours or overnight.
