From Saturday the 9th to the following Saturday, no pies were baked. I had to deal with some insanity regarding my rent (which I think I mentioned earlier, as I was writing a post during this time), and there was already too much pie in the house, so I was just catching up on eating.
BUT THEN
Pies returned. Monday the 18th was another in the series of fruit curd and meringue experiments. This time: Watermelon.
Now, I know watermelon isn't a very traditional juice or pie or anything even close. But bear with me here. It's all exactly the same as the lemon and clementine varieties, except you use a half-cup of fresh-squeezed watermelon juice. Just cut out the watery flesh of a watermelon, and squish it. Strain out the seeds and pulp, and you're ready to go.
I have to say, the flavor was strange. Not strange as in non-delicious, just not what I expected from watermelon juice. I had a bunch of extra juice and drank it during my shift at work, and it shared the weirdness. I brought the pie in to work as well, and they enjoyed it. It certainly was tasty.
