when you're baking the pie

In case you were wondering...


Before baking the base. At this point I was quite nervous about how it would all turn out. I like that one of the future pie ingredients is in the background (not part of some grand artistic plan).


Before the final bake. I felt better by this stage, but only after the blueberries had gone on. Like the Dude's rug, they bring the whole thing together.


Clearly I was so excited by what came out the oven that I could not focus the camera. Apples, pears, blueberries and a fig jam glaze.

All in all this was a happy experience. Think I'll lay off blogging kitchen exploits for a wee bit. I really want to draw.

I like the way the scattered berries are directed by the slopes of the slices and define the curves of the orchard fruit.

Is that final pic of the baked pie? At first glance I thought it was glazed but not baked.

Post bake...
The fig jam glaze was a wee bit gloopy and the dough quite pale, even after baking...
