Today Violet will make 45 pies in the time it takes most of us to make one. In addition to artful pastry skills honed from childhood, she’s a writer with a degree from Bard College. Wow!

(By the way, we sell our pie dough and locally grown fruit in our stores so you can do this at home.)

Kitchen scissors = essential

Strawberries await.

Strawberries meet rhubarb. They get along really well.

Not too sweet, not too tart

Filling time

Now for the art part…

Latticework!

Oven ready!
