Made a Shoofly pie and my husband is currently spitting and yakking it into the kitchen sink. On top of that, he also needed a chaser of several sour cherry jellybeans. I managed to swallow my piece, but ugh, yeck, blech, kack...I'm not a fan. I guess you really, really need to like the taste of molasses, and both my hubby and I don't dig. Never have been a fan of gingerbread cookies and the like. If you're into the molasses kind of thing, go here for the recipe I used. I know this post is such a glowing recommendation. I need a molasses lover to taste this. Seriously...did I screw this up (likely) or do I just hate, hate, hate molasses?
No, say it ain't so!! Shoefly pie is the best!! But I guess you do need to have a liking for intense, somewhat bitter, flavors! What recipe did you use? I have a great one if you can ever muster up the courage to try again!
ReplyDeleteIt's so. Sorry, Viki! Maybe next time I'll substitute syrup or something else. I used this recipe: http://www.amishnews.com/amisharticles/shooflypie.htm
