BIRTHDAY TIME

Yesterday was Elaine's birthday and one of her gifts was a delicious crab cake meal delivered by The Green Turtle.

I didn't know if the meal would include a piece of chocolate birthday cake, so I decided to use our pristine food processor to make some, just in case.

(The meal did consist of birthday cake, in the form of multi-layered Smith Island cake.)

I watched a video about how to use our Cuisinart Food Processor and I found a recipe that I could modify to make a birthday pie (instead of cake.)

I got all the ingredients together (mis en place) and I was ready to go.

For the benefit of all mankind, here is the recipe I used. It was modified from a 2013 Community Cookbook recipe developed by Emma Chapman, Jackson, Georgia.

Ingredients:

2 eggs

1/2 cup honey

1/4 cup melted butter

1/2 tspn vanilla

1 tblspn wine

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 tblspn flour

1/2 cup pecans (pulse)

1/2 cup chocolate morsels (pulse)

1 pie shell

Preheat oven to 375.

Combine eggs, honey, butter, vanilla and wine.

Stir in sugar, flour, pecans and morsels.

Pour into pie shell.

Bake 50 minutes,
