YumForest Fruits Hand Pies : What a beautiful mess !
This is my second batch of Forest Fruits Hand Pies. The first one was tasteful too since the ingredients were exactly the same but the idea really needed an update. The size and glaze wept for correction.
If you have fresh berries or any fruits to use, making a jam or pie filling is the best you can do except eating them fresh, of course. So, after I made Forest Berries Crepes Saladย I decided not to freeze the fruits leftovers. Instead, I made small hand pies to enjoy as much of crust as possible. Both of us.
Hand pies were my week end obsession and I decided not to give up. Two batches in two days !
And you know what ? When packing food for Monday, there was none to take to work : that much about our weight watching.
