Hi friend,
I want to tell you about a pie.
Years ago, I decided I wanted to perfect a recipe for a mixed berry pie. I'd made lots, but none were perfect.
So I started experimenting. I began with the Blueberry Pie recipe off the Minute Tapioca box and started riffing. More of this. Less of that. Triple the berries.
The result after a few much appreciated-by-the-family "trials," I had a recipe for a triple berry pie that was (if I do say so myself), delicious.
A few weeks later, I jokingly asked my dad what he wanted for Father's Day. I knew he'd laugh it off and say something like, "A day of absolutely nothing." Meaning, a day where he didn't have to do anything.
But crazy enough, after a minute of consideration, he said: "I'd love a berry pie π₯§."
Strange, but true. And thanks to all my experimenting, so doable.
When I gave it to him, I also wrapped up a fork. And he didn't ask, but he did dig right in.
Then, he ate two slices, BEFORE dinner.
That was it. That was the whole reaction. No big speech, no βthis means so much to me.β
Just two pieces before dinner.
And a repeat performance from me every Father's Day thereafter.
Sadly, my dad's no longer with us. But my husband has been good enough to carry the torch. I'll be making this Berry Pie again this year, thinking of all the dads. And how simple they can be to please.
And how much we love them all.
Give this recipe a try. I promise you, you'll be happy you did.
Happy baking π«!
Until next Thursday,
