Spices
Mix ingredients in order given, adding spices to taste. Bake between crusts. This quantity will make two pies.
Mock Cherry Pie
Mix one cup cranberries cut in halves, one-half cup raisins seeded and cut in pieces, three-fourths cup sugar, and one tablespoon flour. Dot over with one teaspoon butter. Bake between crusts.
Peach Pie
Remove skins from peaches. This may be done easily after allowing peaches to stand in boiling water one minute. Cut in eighths, cook until soft with enough water to prevent burning; sweeten to taste. Cool, and fill crust previously baked. Cover with whipped cream, sweetened and flavored. Fresh strawberries, cut in halves, slightly mashed and sweetened, are attractively served in a pastry case.
Prune Pie
½ lb. prunes
½ cup sugar (scant)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
