"I made the sour cream peach pie last night. I don't know if I did something wrong or if our recipe writer left out something, but it didn't turn into a pie. It was runny (almost the texture of thinned down peanut butter) so I baked it another 20 minutes with no improvement. I wonder if they used to have a different kind of tapioca that would thicken better than the Minute Brand that was available to me??
AND I WROTE BACK: I'm really sorry you ended up with a runny situation on the peach pie. While the recipe does say "quick cooking tapioca," I know that my mother used a tapioca that took forever to cook and thicken whenever a recipe called for it. The ingredients sound delicious but definitely would need more thickening. It seems this recipe is incorrect and I apologize! Sorry! Coralie August 2, 2010 7:55 AM
Now I'm wondering if anyone else tried this recipe and what the results were?
4 tablespoons of tapioca + 2 tablespoons flour sounds like enough thickener. Just use more tapioca next time. Unfortunately, I live in a foggy climate where peaches do not grow well, so I have to settle for store bought. Chin dripping just doesn't apply. I bet this would also be good with apricots.
As a lover of all things vintage, I write about our cottage home, inspirational decorating, vintage finds, thrifty buys, and old-time recipes. I have many additional interests such as reading, writing, blogging, arts and crafts, and quilting...I write about these interests as well as about family, friends, shelties, nature and hobbies.
This sounds so good and so easy!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the perfect receipt for this time of year. Lately, with just about every corner I turn, a chin-dripping peach stand is waiting for me!
ReplyDeleteBonjour Coralie,
ReplyDeleteThis sound like the perfect sumer dessert. Hope your summer is going well!
Bon week-end,
Mimi
Peaches, sour cream, brown sugar. Ummm...
ReplyDeleteYUMMMMMMM!!!!!!
I remember using tapioca in many pie recipes.
ReplyDeleteThe combo of sour cream/brown sugar/peaches would be wonderful!
