Food: Not your grandmother’s pies

With Memorial Day just around the corner, the season of afternoon get-togethers, potlucks and garden parties is here and with that, summer’s bounty of fresh fruit. Meaning it’s the perfect time for pie.

But who says you have to use a pie plate to bake a pie? By using items such as canning jars and lids and sheet pans, tasty, company-worthy pies can be made without a pie plate. In fact, for a galette, you needn’t a pan at all, just a baking sheet.

For the recipes including lemon shaker pie, cherry slab pie, root beer float pie and free-form peach pie, read Wednesday’s Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Style.
