It's just so, so...chocolate! And eye-popping, and rich, and glorious.

Love rhubarb? This one will fill the bill, and then some! Recipe makes an 11 or 12" pie, enough for company, and is striking with the bright red filling bubbling up through your delicate lattice crust. A splash of orange juice makes it even more bold. Won a blue ribbon at the state fair in 2004.

Pucker up, sweet one! This one is loaded with lemon flavor and capped with a glossy, Italian-style meringue. It's for those who really love their lemon meringue pie. Took a blue ribbon in 1997.

What's not to love about coffee, chocolate and cream?  Add a rich pastry and, well, it's enough to make even a barista's mouth water.  And the judges liked it, too.  It took a blue ribbon!"

Peach pie is my favorite, made with ripe, juicy, flavorful peaches.  This recipe saves those perfect peaches from summer time as frozen slices so that you can enjoy great peach pie all year.  Really, I was pleasantly surprised at how good this is!  The judges thought so, too, giving it a blue ribbon at the state fair this year.

What makes it perfect? It's silky smooth, and has the traditional pumpkin flavor with an almost voluptuous mouth feel. Oh! Whipped cream on top would be gilding the lily, but what the heck. Won a blue ribbon at the state fair in 2002.

It's a winner!  It took a blue ribbon at the NM State Fair pie contest in 2013.  Plus, even better, it can be made with frozen fruit any time of the year.  Plus it has a beautiful color and deep flavor!
