When one door closes, try another door -- and bring a pie. Bring a pie that is so hammered on booze, no one will ever mistake you for a Jehovah's Witness. I give you this, a Drunk-Ass Cherry and Lime Pie! Guess what else? It’s in a skillet! A cherry pie made with sour cherries is satisfying, but I was in the mood for some strange. It occurred to me while shopping for produce, why overlook the bags of seasonal black cherries, especially when I have a perfectly good bottle of champagne cognac at home? I envisioned pie. Add lime and brown sugar, whip up a flaky crust, and bake that whole business in an iron skillet. It's THAT easy.
Our usual sources have no sour cherries this year, as a late freeze killed off their blossoms. But the sweet ones are in (they were past the danger point at the frost), so we might give this a try. Well, either that or just drink the cognac and cry.
If you are new to drinking pies, one tip I would share is make sure the ice in the ice water is thoroughly pulverized. No noticeable chunks, more of the texture of a snow cone (or actual snow.) I chop up ice cubes in the blender, adding water as needed, then strain out most of the water.
A day to prepare?
You know I love trying your recipes, but who plans a whole day in advance?
Lots of people? Really? Oh.
I heartily approve of fruit and cognac.
Cherry-flavored sidecar with remaining booze?
Recipe shortcut: One tumbler o' Wild Turkey 101, one pint Cherry Garcia, 2 coasters, 1 spoon. Directions: Sit. Enjoy.
"Xmas pudding"? Is that what you kids call it these days?

Keep the "X" in Xmas!

Actually, you lost me at "I was in the mood for some strange".
I'm not much of a baker.
I was just going to say the same thing . . . that's got to be a first-class ice cream topping.
