1 onion 1-2 Tbsp butter 2 ½ cups carrots, chopped into 1” pieces 4 eggs ½ cup half and half ½ tsp salt ¼ tsp pepper 1/8 tsp crushed mint leaves

Thinly slice the onion. Place in a pan over med-low heat with butter and cover, stirring occasionally. When the onions are soft, remove cover and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion pieces are browned.

At the same time, boil the carrot pieces in salted water, until the fat pieces of carrot are easy to stab with a fork.

Drain the carrots and puree with the half and half, making it as smooth as you can get it.

Preheat oven to 325° F.

Butter a pie tin and spread the onion evenly over the bottom.

Beat together the eggs, carrot puree, salt, pepper, and mint. Pour evenly over the onions.

Place the pie tin in a larger pan with water in it. Bake until it is a set custard, and a toothpick or knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 60 minutes.

½ cup butter 3 Tbsp sugar 1 ¼ cup fresh or frozen cranberries 1 cup flour ½ cup applesauce ¼ cup honey ½ cup corn meal 1 tsp baking powder ½ tsp baking soda ½ tsp salt 2 eggs 1 Tbsp minced candied ginger, or ½ tsp ground ginger

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Melt ¼ cup butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the sugar, stirring to dissolve. Add cranberries. Let cook, stirring, until the cranberries are all cracked up. Pour this mixture into a greased bread loaf pan (5”x9”), distributing evenly over the bottom.

Stir together flour, corn meal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ginger.

Beat together the remaining butter, applesauce, and honey, until the butter is in small chunks. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Slowly beat in the flour mixture, until combined. Spoon into the pan over the cranberries, spreading evenly and smoothing the top.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes before inverting to remove from pan.

12 oz plums 2 Tbsp arrowroot powder 1 cup flour ½ cup almond meal 2 tsp baking powder ¼ tsp salt ½ cup applesauce 1 egg ½ cup milk or nut milk ½ cup honey ¼ tsp almond extract ¼ cup chopped almonds

Preheat the oven to 375° F. Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan.

Remove the pits and roughly chop the plums. Combine them with the arrowroot powder in a small bowl and set aside.

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, almond meal, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, combine the applesauce, egg, milk, honey, and almond extract. Whisk to blend thoroughly.

Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and whisk until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Gently place the plum mixture evenly over the entire top of the batter. Since the plums will displace the batter, it is important to make an even layer as you put it down. Put the plums all the way to the edge. Sprinkle the chopped almonds on top.

Bake the cake for 45-50 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.

For double crust:

¾ cup butter 2 cup flour ½ cup water ¼ tsp salt

For single crust: 6 Tbsp butter 1 cup flour ¼ cup water 1/8 tsp salt

Cut the butter into the flour until it's crumbly and there's no dry powder.

Dissolve the salt into the water, then stir it into the flour and butter. Stir to make a soft dough.

Roll out on a piece of waxed paper dusted with flour. Use flour as necessary on top and bottom to prevent sticking. Roll to 1/8”.

Dust the pie tin with flour. Use the waxed paper to flip the crust over into the pie tin. Trim the edges and fill in any holes, etc.

To bake the crust alone, bake at 350° F for 27 minutes. Otherwise, follow pie recipe instructions.

Crust:

½ cup flour ½ cup rolled oats ½ tsp salt ¼ cup cold butter, cubed 2 Tbsp cold water

Stir together the flour, oats, and salt. Cut in the butter until it's clumpy. Stir in the water. Put dough on a piece of plastic wrap and use the wrap to press it into a ball, then chill.

Meanwhile, make the filling:

2 ½ cups almond flour 1 cup quince jam 2/3 cup dried or candied fruit, finely chopped 1 tsp cinnamon 2 egg yolks ½ cup sour cream

Mix all ingredients together.

When the crust is firm to the touch, place the ball of dough in a pie tin. Use the plastic wrap as a shield to roll or press out the dough to shape the crust in the pie tin. Press the filling evenly into the crust.
