[@nopenopenopesomuchnope4137]

Fun Fact: The reason why Jack goes for the plums in the middle of the pie is because it's based on actual history. Thomas Horner (a steward to the abbot of Glastonbury) was sent with a Christmas pie to London to give to King Henry VIII, and the deeds for 12 manors were hidden inside of the pie.

[@butterknife1066]

Historical fun fact, but the original nursery rhyme that said “he stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plum,” likely was talking about what we would now call raisins or other dried fruit. Like English “plum pudding,” the word plum wouldn’t be applied to the fresh fruit we know today until a lot later

Tip: thicken with tapioca pearls instead of corn starch. No risk of getting that wonky corn starch taste when you use more to really make it set right.

That was an amazing colour for a pie filling, I wonder if the flavour goes better with custard or ice-cream?

[@jakechecolinski5929]

His filling was runny so it would be better with ice cream. If it had come out properly and been thicker , it would be better with custard.

Anything goes well with Ice Cream or Custard

I think custard vs ice cream is a personal choice

[@AnonyBoiii]

@@pianopuncher well yeah, why not have both

[@ms.bridgeen]

ice cream or custard? me: yes

[@AlRoderick]

You might get something less tart and also more blue if you incorporate a little bit of something alkaline like baking soda to the filling. The red pigment in a lot of fruit is a Ph indicator so it is red in an acid environment and gets bluer when basic.

[@actualturtle2421]

That's fascinating. Thanks for the tip.

[@benjaminaltube8731]

As a tip if you don't want to flour your work surface, in fear of making your dough drier/tougher. Try putting the dough between two layers of plastic wrap and then rolling it out with a pin evenly. The plastic wrap comes out clean and the dough didn't get any extra flour that needs brushing off

[@xiuxiu1108]

I thought pie crusts were meant to be low hydration in the first place? If anything, a drier dough would be prefarable to a gummy, over-wet dough.

[@BlightfulProductions]

@@xiuxiu1108 it's a line between being able to work it and accidentally turning your dough too dry and crumbly to hold together. If your dough is just right (or don't want to flour it) then you can do as the original commenter said

[@Teliriny]

Darn, I was hoping to see how he was going to pull a whole plum out of the center of the pie with his thumb. Future Botched By Babish episode?

Have you ever tried tapioca as a thickener in fruit pie over corn starch? It was the go-to thickener from both of my parents who were born in the great depression. They preferred it because it took less to thicken a pie than cornstarch. Maybe do a test of different thickening agents for giggles.

[@WisKrisKar]

This is my go-to trick (that I learned from Alton Brown.) Tapioca flour is a great thickener. It also maintains its structure through hot and cold environments, meaning that you can freeze fillings ahead of time.

[@Wrexywrex328]

“Little Jack Dorsey”. I’m guessing that was a slip of the tongue.

[@privacyvalued4134]

I recently picked up a pie crust recipe that I've been wanting to try making for myself. It's supposedly far easier to implement than this style of pie crust but having had it once, appears to produces equivalent results. A plum pie filling sounds delicious but leaving the skin on seems like it would introduce some weird textures. Apple and peach pies usually have the skins removed. I would try with both corn starch and tapioca thickening agent variants.

[@gamemasteranthony2756]

FUN FACT: The nursery rhyme about Jack Horner was about someone who was tasked to deliver a pie to a high ranking official. But...usually such pies hid something valuable. So, the deliverer stuck his thumb into the pie and pulled out a "plum"...which was actually the deed to a valuable estate. So, the deliverer pocketed the deed for himself and let's just say the high ranking official was none too happy about not getting anything. Given how Jack is depicted in this movie, I'd say that story tracks.

[@Bluetartinator8]

Please do Frankie's French Toast from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends movie, "Destination Imagination"

[@dhawthorne1634]

If I go the corn starch route I also add in some additional pectin to make it a thicker, jam-like consistency. Most of the time I use flour, which holds up better if you like your pies warm. Simply tossing your cut fruit in flour and layering it into the crust with a covering of sugar and some additional flour in between each layer. Sprinkle the juice over top, add on a few very thin slices of butter before topping the pie. Cloves go very nice with plum; if you add any spices do it in the layering process. The juice for any given pie should contrast the fruit being used. For sweet fruits like apples use lemon juice and for tart fruits like plums use orange. If the fruit has a lot of moisture to begin with, like cherries, skip the juice and add in some extra flour or other thickener.

[@iannobes4369]

I recommend, when kneading the pie dough, that you sort of fold it over itself instead of just randomly kneading it. That way you sorta laminate it and get an extra crispy pie crust.
