Mmmmmm... Pie!
Recipes From Mercy Farm and Other Locales
Pies, cakes, cookies, candy, breads! So many tasty treats!
This is recipe central for Mercy Farm recipes and personal contributions.
Some of the Mercy Farm recipes came from family members, some from other sources, but all were fine-tuned by Alice Roman. Pastor Jim (Grandpa) had very definite ideas about bakery goodies, and I am sure it wasn't easy to put up with his constant criticisms in the effort to get the recipes 'just so.' Thanks Alice for contributing your creativity and skill in spite of the conditions!
I decided to share the recipes from the farm that I have. Since I left Colorado in 1987, I have continued to bake, though on a smaller scale. I don't have copies of all the Mercy Farm recipes. I just took the ones I liked. And what was I thinking I was going to do with a recipe for 150 lbs of pie crust? Go figure. I have noted where I have made modifications, since my preferences differ from my grandfather's. Please note that I have posted only my flaky (vs. shortbread) version of pie crust. I never really liked the Mercy Farm pie crust. However, if I get enough requests, I'd be happy to post it.
Farmies are encouraged to post a recipe from Mercy Farm, and not just pies. We had great recipes for other stuff too!
