  1. This was sooo good...we live near a Amish community and I have never tated this pie before... 5 stars!!!
     
  2. So sorry to have to rate this low, but we couldn't finish it. It IS a matter of taste, we hated the molasses, it was overpowering. The recipe worked like it should have, near as I can tell, it set up etc., but we just didn't care for it at all.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a real estate agent in the lovely city of Rochester, New York. That's not what I expected to do with my life. I got my bachelor's in psychology, my masters in literacy education, and I taught high school special education for two years. Then I discovered that helping people find the homes of their dreams was my real passion. I've been doing it for over two years now and still absolutely love my career. Other than that, I have a very spoiled Border Collie mix named Bear that I adopted from a local shelter in spring '08. He's gorgeous and fun and brings me great joy. Now if only I could find a man like that... LOL!
