FAVORITE PLUM PIE
I know there are lots of pie recipes on AllRecipes.com. I only found one for classic plum pie, and lots for cherry pie, but each had features I didn't care for, so I combined what I thought were the best parts, and this is the result. This recipe is easily doubled, tripled, or whatever, depending on the amount of fruit you have.

Steps:
- 1. Place the oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees. Set out a 9 inch Pyrex pie plate. 2. Strain the juice from the plums into a large saucepan. Cut the plums in half, then half again pitting as you go. Set plums aside. 3. Mix together the sugar, flour and salt in a bowl. Do not skip this step or you'll have flour lumps. Pour the mixtures into the saucepan with the plum juice. Cook the mixture over medium heat stirring often and first, and constantly as the mixture heats. Cook and stir scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoons until the mixture is very thick and gooey. 4. Turn off the heat from under the sauce pan. Add the almond extract and sliced plums and stir to combine. Set aside. 5. Gently Roll out the pie crusts between sheets of wax paper. Stretch the dough an inch or more if you can for the bottom layer. Place the dough into the pie dish and brush lightly with egg white. 6. Next, pour the hot filling into the pie dish arranging the plums around if needed. *Don't overfill the pie. Leave out a little of the juice if it gets too full.* Dot with butter and top with the top crust. Flute and cut vents into the dough. 7. Place a pie shield over the crust and bake pie for 30 minutes. Then remove the pie shield and bake for about 10 more minutes, or until golden brown and done on the bottom. 8. Remove from the oven and cool on a cooling rack for several hours or overnight.
Tips:
- Use ripe, juicy plums for the best flavor. If your plums are not quite ripe, you can hasten the ripening process by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or banana for a few days.
- To easily remove the pits from the plums, cut them in half and twist the halves in opposite directions. The pit will pop right out.
- If you don't have a pie crust mix on hand, you can make your own using the recipe in the article.
- Be sure to chill the pie crust before baking it. This will help the crust to hold its shape and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set.
- Serve the pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
This plum pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tart filling is complemented perfectly by the flaky crust. With its simple ingredients and classic flavor, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
