Hello...

My Mother used to make Chess Tarts.  The crust was light and flaky and she said it was french pastry that she used for the tart shells.

She is now in Heaven and I can't remember all of the ingredients she used other than, walnuts, butter, raisins, a touch of vinegar and heavy cream.  All of these solid ingredients were put in grinder then the eggs and cream mixture  before going into the tart shells.

After baking she topped them with whipped cream!

Would you share your ingredients with me?  I'd like to share with the children in our family.

Thank you so much,

Dotti

This is the first time I have ever had someone else mention Chess Pie. My greatgrandmother started it, when My mother passed away I had to take over, I always tell people, If its made right you can just pick it up and eat it , no fork needed. They always look at me funny when I tell them it's got cornmeal and vinager in it, can't taste it at all.

 Is there any possible way you would consider sharing your recipe? My parents always made these (with a lattice-work top!) and they were delicious! Dad died 23 years ago and Mom, 10 years ago. They stopped making them at least 10 years before Dad died. It's been a long, long time...! I haven't found the recipe yet that duplicates theirs! They never wrote it down...they owned a bakery in Chicago for years and Mom grew up in another bakery! I guess they knew a lot of recipes by heart!

Thanks (for the memories!),

Chocolate for sure!

I love any kind of fruit pie. I also like some cream pies but I prefer fruit type pies.

Hi Tammy

 I just joined the site and was pleased that there was a southerner at hand. I love lemon but I also love sweet potato cobbler and pie, chocolate, blueberry and sometimes cherry. Tried the pecan and it's ok but sweet potato cobbler is really my favorite one besides lemon. My grandmom was the pie maker in the house and my mom or course. That was her favorite with vanilla ice cream on top. Talk about homemade cooking. That's all we did in our home. No can foods came until later in the years. We prefer homemade over any can, too much salt added. Homemade is the best I think and you know what's in it because you're making it from scratch. Keep in touch if you come up with something that I haven't tried and we can email each other. It's good to try other people recipes.

 Key Lime followed closely by pecan.
