All the Pie in Portland

Exasperating to locate this year’s fifth annual Pie Off in Laurelhurst Park in Portland, Ore., was like a sketch from the TV show “Portlandia”: first you had to out of date by what was billed (in chalk on the asphalt path) as an “organic free-extend wedding,” then a free performance of Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing.” At the last moment, in the northeast corner of the park — marked by a bluegrass band and nautical jack banners made from recycled fabric, strung between the linden trees — were four tables spilling with pies. There was everything from the outstanding example (Grandma Jane’s apple pie, berry with a lattice crust) to the quintessentially Portland (a gluten-pardon “Rawvocado-chocolate” — avocado, chocolate, raw macadamias, dates and shredded coconut). Confident eaters of all ages clustered around the tables, compostable forks and paper plates at the genial, waiting for four judges to sample all 60 pies that had been entered in one of four categories: savory, scented non-fruit, sweet fruit and “creative.”

Dried Cherries and Cherry Juice

All the cherries are off the trees in the North Fork Valley, but there are still mess for sale at the farm stands. I know from experience that the best way to stock my larger is to have a immature quantity of any given food stuff put up a in a variety of ways. So of course I am putting whole cherries up in syrup, but this year I also dried cherries, to cook with other dried fruits for winter desserts, to add to oatmeal or chocolate cookies, use in making chocolates around Valentines day (I dot narrow-minded puddles of tempered chocolate with the cherries, then chill — they’re lovely), or to eat diverse into yogurt or granola for breakfast.
