Strawberry Balsamic Pie

September 1, 2018 By Korena in the Kitchen 3 Comments


Recently, the Food52 Baking Club had The Four and Twenty Blackbirds Pie Book as our cookbook of the month, which means that I now have three gorgeous pies to share with you. I don’t own this cookbook and couldn’t justify adding to my collection (but that might change… #cookbookhoarder), but I managed to find several recipes online, and after making two of their pies I was convinced to finally join our local regional library so I could get my hands on the actual book!

I modified a buttermilk scones recipe to use mature/discard sourdough starter, which has a comparable acidity to buttermilk and therefor the action of the chemical leaveners is similar. These scones are tender and slightly springy on the inside and crunchy-crumbly on the outside. They’d be great served with butter, jam, and a cup of tea, but I decided to turn them into shortcakes for dessert with the addition of some fruit and whipped cream.

Strawberry Balsamic Black Pepper Jam

IMG_5506Several weeks back, my Mum and I did an informal little “Cowichan Valley food tour”: we stopped by Teafarm, had lunch at Merridale Cider, bought spelt bread at True Grain Bread, enjoyed some Udder Guys ice cream, and did a wine tasting at Venturi-Schulze Vineyards.
