It's unfortunate how reality tussles with sensationalism. I've regrettably danced with the issue often. Seems many simply like the idea that: "the depression was so bad they had to use VINEGAR in their pies!" - Never does the true (and oft more interesting) history much justice. Thank you for the informative video.

My mom made vinegar pie in autumn. She rolled out several thin layers of crust. She put in some filling into the bottom crust, then a layer of crust, more filling, more crust, not sure how many layers, but then the top crust, and she took an ice pick and poked holes all over the top, clear through to the bottom. She brushed the top with water and sprinkled sugar lightly all over the top. The layers of crust puffed up, and the pie came out higher than the plate it was in. So fragrant, so delicious.

As I understand from some old folks in my family, vinegar pie liquid is basically a base to hold fruit scraps and stale bread, or whatever neutral tasting stuff you have around the kitchen that needs getting rid of before it spoils. I've even heard people putting in leftover potatoes, carrots, and anything that has some chew. Mash or chop it up, and nobody really knows what was in the pie. The vinegar kind of binds all the smells and flavors together. One would definitely also use some sort of allspice or cinnamon mixture as well.

My sister and I were watching, and we both remembered our family vinegar pie. We use my great-grandmother's recipe, which is likely a late nineteenth century recipe (my mother's mother's mother used to make it for my grandmother when she was a girl, and grandma was born in 1901). It had an egg and butter in it, but the egg is not separated. My sister said that our mom said it was a Penn Dutch recipe, which makes sense because our great-grandmother and grandmother were born in rural PA. On a similar note, I'm going to be making a raisin pie that my grandmother used to make for me (back in the sixties) which I still have the recipe for in my great-grandmother's handwriting. 🙂 I'm looking forward to that! Love your show, Glenn, and especially when you dig into the history of the recipes on your Sunday videos!

And, of course, being Grammy Sarrett's favorite granddaughter, we don't waste anything, so we always rinse the jars and cans out, preferably with part of the recipe. I even throw browned ground beef or mushrooms in the spaghetti sauce jar and shake it around to clean it out without watering down the sauce.

Having had an elderly friend (would be 94 if still alive in 2024) who grew up on a farm in the US before they received government subsidies, I learned how lean the end of winter/early spring months were for them. Most of what they ate was what they grew and preserved (and their family wasn’t particularly large). By spring, all or most of the apples would have been consumed so this recipe would have been a way to stretch what was available to make a dessert. People forget how much of the world was agrarian then and how people were creative with what they had to feed families and still provide some variety and some treats. We, in this time, do not understand fully what it was like. She described week after week of her mother canning vegetables and fruit to prep for winter and preserve every bit of what their farm yielded.

I love apple pie, so I'm going to try this with a low carb flour mix, low carb sweetener and add some cinnamon. I think that you may have helped me figure out something for my occasional sweet tooth. I also love the simplicity of the basic recipe. I think doing a low carb version of that will be a great low cost basic pie.

Thank you for this! I haven't heard of it before. I've actually have a couple of different vinegars that I'm excited to try this with! 😆

When Julie started eating it she had a sort of pained look, and then she kept going back to eat more so she must have liked it!

I made vinegar dumplings once with my grandmother. She made short dough and we rolled with cinnamon and sugar. Cut pieces of maybe 1.5 inch rolls into about 1/4 inch pieces and cooked in a sugar and vinegar liquid. They were interesting.

"Miami Blues". That's the first thing that comes to mind, it plays a critical role the movie. Great scene in a great movie. Green grapes and vinegar.
