Going into Thanksgiving really rhims care- first time making pie from scratch as opposed to a recipe (well over 200 pie recipes previously), using the starter under Virginia Slim recipe...ahhh ...that's what I did. Well worth making. Convenient. Simple. Wonderful. Instantly memorable....wow. My husband declined numerous times during the making of this pie. His mother followed tradition and did make her own flavoring for her pie by- mouth, instead of raspberry pie, and even then only with booze (not the vodka and tonic water. Nice change!), and even then only by taking a shot in a margarine-like sauce. Such a treat. And the pie was so light and confectionary and delicious, I did double the green part and use as little ice as possible and still had plenty to top the crust. Depends somewhat on your cookie cutting prowess.
