We have a version of this in my country called “monchou pie”, where monchou is a specific brand of cream cheese.

man, i really love the reverence you give to older, more rustic recipes. lots of chefs would brush off brenda's recipe because it uses prepared ingredients, but your acknowledgment that prepared ingredients are a crucial part of traditional southern recipes is honestly so important. sure, as a treat, there's merit in desiring food experiences that only come from the purest of origins, but to close yourself off from the goodness that is the ingenious combinations of pre-prepared foods that compromises so many southern cuisines (blueberry yum yum, mississippi pot roast, ro-tel chile dip, etc) is to completely limit yourself from and entire world of incredible flavor.

[@jasonreed7522]

One quote from my mom "I have made enough pie crusts from scratch to just use frozen Pillsbury crusts, they turn out better anyway." I'm 100% sure that a crust made from scratch can be made to taste way better, but just buying some things can save alot of time. Some food youtubers make my eyes roll when they make it sound like buying buns or ice cream is a culinary failure on your part. One of my favorite pie recipes was to to make canned filling so you harvest and pit the cherries and freeze for later, then take frozen cherries and make the pie filling as a canned good, and whenever you want chery pie you just dump 1 jar into a crust and bake. Sadly my parents cherry tree died. (It was near the road and winter salt + age + fungus was slowly killing it as it lost 1 branch/trunk per storm.)

One small thing to elevate the crust. Brown the butter. With the graham cracker crumbs, browning the butter adds a whole new dimension which is more than the sum of it's parts. Also, the possibilities are endless with other pie fillings! (Sorry, I'm from central PA, though I did live in the south for a few years)

My favorite blueberry jam recipe has only 3 ingredients: blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Blueberries are pretty high in pectin, and the lemon juice helps the pectin set up. So with your homemade sauce, the lemon juice may have weakend the cornstarch somewhat, but it probably also strengthened the blueberry pectin's natural thickening properties.

We need more of this tbh. I've basically entirely stopped watching babish for that reason

[@nko8369]

@@Jepysauce fair point but mainly babish does have alternates and many times states, that it isn’t worth the effort, unlike some other nameless food KZbinrs(cough, Joshua Weissman) who actually expect people to make an incredibly fancy and overcomplicated recipe

[@seauqis]

@@Jepysauce to be fair, babish only really does the really fancy stuff on the binging with babish segments and doesn't expect his audience to actually try out the recipes irl, his basics with babish series however is a lot more forgiving in terms of how easily you can make it at home. that's unlike a certain someone *cough cough* joshua weissman *cough cough*

Thank you for sharing your platform with other cooks Also thank you for obscuring her son's face! More creators need to take into account predators online, not to mention the fact that these children are thrust into the spotlight before they even know what that entails

Love this . This is great. You don’t often see this kind of food represented on other channels. Love the blend of history and culture that you put in each of your videos.

I just tried a lil' bit of blueberry yum yum, and I never would of thought that it could taste this goooood

[@Reksrat]

I'm a southern boy born and raised and this is the first i've heard of blueberry yum yum. I have to make this now.

I have a lot of friends who try to write Adam off as a pretentious youtube cook, and they won't watch him. I'll admit that I felt that way at first...but He always thinks about his food privilege and considers what food means to all levels of people. There is a lot classism in the "foodie" community with many being particularly hateful toward dishes like these. There are groups dedicated to trashing crockpot and casserole meals, for instance. That always hurts as someone who both loves food and grew up poor in the south. Adam is a treasure for always going into recipes and histories like these kindly without an ounce of disrespect. That's how he won me over as a fan, and I hope that the people who watch him who don't have experience with "poor food" can learn to appreciate and respect it.

My Filipino grandma makes something similar but with mangoes, definitely gonna try this

Naruworld. That sounds absolutely delicious. I LOVE ❤️ mangoes

She's so lovely. Grammys really are a treasure. This gives me a sinpler version of a blueberry cheesecake

You know, here in Thailand, YumYum is a brand of instant noodles so that title scared the [beep] out of me as a university student.

I make a recipe very similar to this. Sometimes I do the homemade crust, but often times I use the ready crust in a disposable pan. This allows me to make 4-6 pies, that we give away during the holidays.

[@obiomachukwuocha4918]

This might sound weird but can you do a video of how to properly/scientifically clean after cooking/eating? How to wash dishes, basically. Should you soak? should you rinse/drain your sponge with cold water? When should you use an iron sponge? Do you have to use soap if there's only cookie crumbs on the plate? Etc.

[@AndJusticeForOneBotC]

Internet Shaquille has the video you're looking for.

[@onodera3964]

After enjoying some proper Southern pies I bought a Southern cuisine cookbook and it was full of recipes like this one, relying on prepackaged stuff you can't find outside the US.
