Oh my. Those look delicious! Will you marry me:)

LOL LB.....you could not get me to try them because of my diabetes...and of course the distance between them and me right now....I want a bite though

If there's any leftovers, I'll be right over! lol!

Those look delicious! Pecan pie, pumpkin pie,...what is the one in the middle with the stars??

You sure are a good baker!

It's not a pumpkin or pecan pie lol. Top down: plum streusel pie with walnuts in the streusel, red Kuri squash pie, and the bottom is a starfruit upside down cake with plums and passion fruit jelly. So far I have only tried the squash with whipped cream. It was good!

Also lb are you old enough to get married? Jk jk

Oh! I'm sorry I didn't have the right pies! I've never had any of these. They sound wonderful. Are these your own recipes?

I got the plum streusel pie recipe offline. But of course I always add and subtract a few things in any kind of dish I make.

You could go into cooking professionally. These look amazing!

I did cook professionally for 3 years. I gotta say tho, my mom helped. She made ahead the dough for the crusts. Not that I can't make crusts, she just likes hers better and felt like preparing the squash and dough. That way when I got home from work just had to get dinner on the table and then I focused on the cake and plum pie. It was fun. Nice way to celebrate fall harvest.

I prefer real butter in my pie crusts but she uses Crisco. That's great for vegans but I personally don't like working with Crisco. It's the same with biscuits, I use butter and oil, she uses Crisco. (My biscuits are better.) But these pies turned out great so I'm fine with her using her recipe. Saved me some time.

They all look great and have never heard of any of them, I'm a plain Jane, lol I thought it was pecan and pumpkin too but they look amazing! Enjoy!

Your pies look delish! I don't like working with Crisco either, but hubby loves my pie crusts, so I'm not gonna mess with a good thing. : ) Are you willing to share the plum streusel pie recipe? I've never tried baking with plums before.

It's easy, you don't even have to peel them, just cut the pit out and slice the rest in chunks like for an apple pie. I found the recipe online. It's one of the first ones that comes up if you Google plum pie.
I will say this, like with many terrible online recipes for pies, the recipe has no thickener. The filling isn't cooked first. When you use fresh fruit it will be juicy and you absolutely have to use a thickener to absorb the juice. I always use tapioca. I keep a box of the instant or minute tapioca in the red box on hand at all times. I also added more seasoning. Plums and nutmeg are a match made in heaven so use plenty of that, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and allspice. Also I needed more butter than was called for in the recipe for the streusel/crumble top. Bake time was about spot on tho in my oven. About an hour on 375, but I kept checking it. Use lemon zest if you have any, it really adds a nice ring and freshness.
Hope that helped.

Thanks, it does! I typically use cornstarch as a thickener, but I've heard tapioca works well too. I really appreciate the tips.
