Home Budget Herald Pie Recipes: Andrist’s Silky French Raspberry Pie Serving Jury’s ‘Stock Sauce’

The pie inserted by Evan Andrist in the second round of the Grand Forex Herald’s Economist Bye Bye Bake Off caused an uproar among the judges.

Not only did they love the overall taste and overall look of Andrist’s French Mulberry Silk Tart, but the crust sent them to their cellphones to check out an odd ingredient: leaf fat.

According to a website called “The Spruce Eats,” the leaf suet “comes specifically from the soft visceral fat around the kidneys and loins of pork loin. As such, it has a very delicate, spreadable consistency at room temperature. This, along with its flavor Clean, salt-free, is why lard is considered the highest quality.

“I had never heard of lard,” said Judge Kristin Whitney, Executive Chef of the Museum of Art Café. “But it is delicious. »

With the pie, Andrist moved from Grand Forks into the third week of the month-long competition, which took place in August and September. Sixteen bakers participated in the first tournament.

Below is her recipe for the “Silky French Raspberry Tart.” This holiday season, The Herald will be publishing recipes for the 30 pies entered in this year’s Grand Forks Herald Pie Bake from Home Economics.

Prescriptions will be published in print, electronic and online editions and will be compiled on the Herald’s website.
