Calling All Pie Bakers!

 

It’s time to bake pies for the Clam Festival!  Calling all HOME BAKERS!

​

Our intrepid group of in house bakers will be baking pies at the church soon to supply pies to the booth at the green and in front of the church, but we need more than even we can make.  We need your help baking too.  We do have a small change this year as the decision has been made to limit the flavors of pies that we offer.  This decision was made to decrease the amount of flavored pies that we offer for faster turnover of pies, more consistency in shift changes, and no worry concerning cross contamination." Don’t worry, Clam Festival Favorites are on this List!  You can start making them now if you want to freeze them or bring them in during the festival freshly baked. There will be a sign up sheet on the bulletin board, with a reminder of the flavors we are offering this year.    If you are freezing your pies, please read the following directions:

How to freeze a freshly made pie: Cool your pies completely before wrapping in plastic wrap, and then in foil.  Use a permanent marker on the foil with the type of pie.  No masking tape please as it falls off the foil once it has thawed.  IMPORTANT:  If pies are wrapped and frozen while still warm, once thawed they will be runny and gooey, and unfortunately we will be unable to serve them. 

Fresh Pies: If delivering fresh, just plastic wrap will do! 

​

We are asking for these flavors - Please bake from the following list:

​

  • Blueberry

  • Blueberry Rhubarb

  • Strawberry Rhubarb

  • Cherry

  • Rhubarb

  • Raspberry

  • Lemon Meringue

  • Peach Blueberry

  • Key Lime

  • Triple Berry (Blueberries, blackberries, raspberries)

  •  Chocolate satin

  • Toll House (without nuts)

​

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Lyn Glassock or Liz Reinsborough
