Grated Pineapple Pie From 1898 - Old Cookbook Show

[@virginiaf.5764]

Raise your hand if you wish the old cookbook show was longer ... at least to the end of breakfast, and into the second cup of coffee.

[@LordHypnosis]

Julie almost instantly smiling and Glen doing his little happy dance - you know it's a good pie! :D

[@brockreynolds870]

My grandmother says she was able to get fresh pineapple here in Missouri in the 1920's at the local store... once a year, they would get a shipment, and you ordered it in advance, by the case... and then the women would home can however much they wanted of what they ordered.

[@ellaburl]

How old is your grandmother today to have remembered buying it in the 20's? And how much did a case of pineapple cost?

[@jjudy5869]

That is how my mother in the late 40's got pineapple and preserved it for latter use during the year.

[@hecate235]

You had to order a CASE of pineapples? Now I understand why so many old jam and preserves recipes called for pineapple too. Apricot-pineapple, quince-pineapple, rhubarb-pineapple. Had to use it up!

[@mizFahrenheit]

So your grandma is a highlander? How is she still alive if she was an adult in the 1920s honest question

[@werelemur1138]

@@mizFahrenheit some people live a long time; my grandmother made it to 109 and she wasn't even close to the oldest documented person (122 years). If someone was 18 in let's say 1925 she would have been born in 1907 and be 116 years old today. It's statistically unlikely, but not out of the realm of possibility.

[@allegg8804]

He's dancing after first bite.... and and she took 3 tastes before she spoke. Must be one great pie. Thank you.

[@princesslana2c]

I love the history lesson with this!.. My grandmother was born 1902

[@TamarLitvot]

I keep imagining Julie on her way home from work wondering and anticipating what Glen has made that day. It must be so much fun! The pie looks really good - I’m actually thinking of making it (I don’t make pies usually). P.S. Glen has raised more than $26K for flights for people with medical needs!

[@ptjzmemory]

"That's a good pie" statement combined with Julie's big smile and the happy dance seals it for me. Thank you!!

[@keetrandling4530]

Julie is correct: "Ambrosia" is a dessert pudding that includes pineapple, marshmallows, coconut etc. Also, there was a version made with pistachio pudding mix.

[@RedHeadedTsunami]

Sometimes they added canned mandarin oranges, too. Usually, they'd use a big can of "fruit salad" with grapes and everything already in it. They'd all pecan bits, too. Depending on where and when you were making it, the base would be whipped cream, sour cream, cottage cheese. If you were unlucky, it was mayonnaise that was sweetened, which doesn't sound as appealing.

[@jessesteinbar]

In Brazil Ambrosia is just eggs, milk and sugar, you cook while mixing and you have your Ambrosia, that's a similar dessert to condensed milk Puding, but our "pudin" is made in the oven like a pie.

[@HeroOfCows]

@@RedHeadedTsunami Yep - the version with mandarins was a staple side around thanksgiving or christmas time for me growing up. A bit weird as a side to savory stuff but tasty in and of itself

[@shirleyannconfer9651]

The pistachio pudding version is what my late grandmother called Watergate Salad. Canned crushed pineapple, pistachio pudding mix, maraschino cherries, cool whip, and miniature marshmallows are the only ingredients I can remember, but I’m sure I’m probably missing something. It was one of many cool whip based “salads” that have been described as diabetes in a bowl.

[@rocketcaver]

We made this this afternoon but since our eggs are larger only used 3. Used canned crushed pineapple, and raspberry jam as the base layer. It turned out really good, we will make it again.

[@jenniferhomer5402]

What temp did you bake it at and for how long? I tried making it but I think I didn't cook it long enough.

[@Malmern]

Another recipe I'd like to make some day, I love pineapples!

[@CrazyAuntVal]

Thanks again Glen, for another "absolutely must try" recipe, and a reminder to get out in the garden and work off all the pie recipes in my queue! I have a feeling that this will become a family favorite. You had me at "pineapple!"

[@christophertitanium8424]

This is a fantastic way to preserve and popularize historic recipes! The pie looks great, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@cmonyoureds]

my favourite Sunday morning experiences; freshly brewed coffee and Glen's happy dance! That pie looks wonderful, thanks for sharing that recipe. I suspect using a frozen gluten free crust would work just fine.

[@marktaylorp]

I’m thinking to cut calories you could probably make this a “crust less” dessert just smear your fav jam bottom of a ramekin or oven safe dish put on the filling on top and bake - custard type dessert- hmmm??

[@anthonydolio8118]

Thanks folks. As always, lots of fun.

[@donnaclinton5578]

Looks like that would be refreshing, very nice.

[@susanturner1262]

My mom used to make this with added coconut!

[@jamesmcgowan8374]

Hi Glen I don't know if you'll see this or interested but I think I might a good rabbit hole for you to look into about the pop irn bru. It's a Scottish classic and a few years ago they changed the recipe and it hasn't been the same since. It would be great if you done some homework and made your own version of it. I guess the best way to explain the flavour is something like cola champagne or cream soda mixed with some kind of fruit. You would be doing justice for the world and making allot of people happy.

[@rihardsrozans6920]

Hm, I tried irn bru for the first time like a couple of years ago to know what the hype is about and I was surprised to be hit with a familiar tutti frutti flavour from a drink from back home in Latvia. it's a pretty common flavouring and I do wonder how different it was before.

[@hannakinn]

This reminds me of a baked pineapple custard my Southern grandmother used to make, it was sweet and creamy, it used crushed pineapple and I know it contained vanilla. My grandmother was born in 1901, she made excellent desserts. I'm sure the recipe was an old one. The pudding was delicious so much so that every once on a while the way it tasted pops into my head and I wish I had her recipe.

[@thetattedpharmacist3215]

I'd love you to do the fresh strawberry pie I spied on the oage shown right at the end of the video, just the title alone has me salivating! 🤤

[@Sisterfifi]

There is a recipe from Aust cookbooks around the 1950’s which have something similar, and it was made at every girl guide camp I went on. It was tinned pineapple and custard. It was pineapple pieces and custard in a pre baked pie shell, and required no baking.

[@Ottawa411]

Lovely recipe video Glen. You never mentioned your theories on the parbaked piecrust though. I'm curious.

[@susanturner1262]

I think I've heard him say before, with the pizza stone(pre-heaed) in oven, bottom crust seems to cook quite nicely,without having to prebake 1

[@Ottawa411]

[@daniellecrevier970]

Thank you for another great old recipe as well as the background story to it. You help me feed my family with your recipes and I truly thank you for that👍👍👍❤❤❤

[@NRajah]

I've never heard of the term grated pineapple but glad to hear it means crushed pineapple. Looks nice and it might work with some other fruits like mango, coconut or dates

[@Rigel_Chiokis]

The thing I like about these old recipes is, they leave a lot of room for "suit yourself" measurements.

[@saleen367]

I think it would be refreshing to treat the youth of today to spend a month or two to what life in the early 20th century was like. So many take for granted the idea of our food being readily available at the local grocer. Canning, freezing and growing our own food has become a lost art.

[@sthompson4049]

Saleen,there is a place outside of Minneapolis called Oliver Kelley farm,it has people wearing period costume talking about their lifestyle, really a neat place to harken on life also had great cookbooks much like what Glen has.

[@leanderwright2647]

I went to middle school, 7th grade, in Plantation Key Florida which was known for its pineapple fields back in the times you mentioned

[@RobotPorter]

You can still get canned pineapple in sweetened syrup, sold in the US as "in heavy syrup". So, it might be more authentic to use that type.

[@LukesJukes]

Just made this comment before I scrolled down! I didn’t realize it wasn’t sold like that everywhere.

[@sigrid129]

In Denmark full fat milk is called sødmælk= sweet milk. Buttermilk is called kærnemælk = churned milk.

[@jkbrown5496]

I found 'Creamery Butter -Making' (1909) , John Michels, on the Internet Archive. It is very in depth on setting up a creamery to produce butter at the time. He describes the ripening of the cream after it leaves the separator to mostly enhance the flavor through lactic fermentation increasing the acidity. The success of the operation hinged on this step due to many bad bacteria that could spoil the process. Sweet cream butter was described as being nearly flavorless as it was not ripened. Then you get into the starters added and at the time the more European use of culturing.

[@lesliemoiseauthor]

Very interesting ❤

[@rebeccaturner5503]

For an occasional breakfast my mama would fix for us cornbread with sweet milk.....as opposed to buttermilk. Crumbled cornbread from the night before into a cold glass of sweet milk.

[@LadyInBlue3]

@glenandfriends thanks for another great video.

[@hecate235]

A link, maybe, to the grated apple pie? Would that be a Malbourough Pie? This looks tasty It's a plus that it's not loaded with sugar. I''m at the age where too much sugar makes my teeth ache.

[@aconsideredmoment]

I'm thinking coconut jam or caramel and some dried coconut mixed in. Looks good!

[@CreepyTikiHome]

I'm going to be honest, I'm having a hard time with this recipe and if really love if you'd reply, Glen. You don't list a time anywhere, and at the temp you talk about I've burned the top of my pie and had unset bottoms after just half an hour! I've tried a lower temp, longer baking times. There must be a sweet spot I'm missing because I can't get this pie to bake right! What is your time and temp at the end? That would give us a clue, because At 425 that's 75-100 degrees more than I'd normally bake my pies at for 45 minutes. What time did you bake this at? I can't get this result at all.

[@groermaik]

A DOUBLE Glen dance. Damn.

[@salutations5749]

I took a Ghost tour in Alexandria Virginia years ago. The guide mentioned that Pineapples were used by Ship Captains when they returned from Sea to let ppl know they were back. Theyd post them out in front of their houses and ppl would know to come by so they could hear the stories and such. They caught attention and were considered Exotic, according to the guide. I never verified if that was a fact or not. But Ive seen placards and stone work with Pineapples at the entrance of houses in the Midwest before.

[@hecate235]

Is this why some houses had a carved pineapple on the doors? I was always told it was a sign of 'hospitality."

[@salutations5749]

@@hecate235 Yes, in that same vein was what i was led to believe.

[@ThePurplesquish]

Just started watching, but I had to say before I forgot - that pastry case looked amazing! How do you get your pastry so pale?

[@nuglasers8856]

Great video and pie. You all should make a sour orange, cherry, apple, strawberry etc. soda pop or just whichever one you like. Not sure if y’all are big on sour but might might be able to find the right balance. I understand you may have already even done something like that. Just sounds fun and those videos seem to be fun.

[@nuglasers8856]

and as always compare and see what flavor makes the best sour fruity soda pop

[@nuglasers8856]

Also thinking different like kiwi 🥝 pineapple.. mmm

[@browniewin4121]

I was surprised to not see the pineapple drained, I was expecting disaster from it being so wet. I would have thought "layer" of jam would be more. Those egg whites looked nothing like stiff. I like pineapple so now I'm wanting to try this recipe.

[@alanblott4559]

We got Glenn's smile, and a wide eyed jiggle....... Must be good.

Marshmallow Pineapple pie is a mid-west tradition often found at church potlucks. My guess is the Marshmallow saved a bunch of time.

Pistachio pudding with marshmallows and pineapple pieces. Maybe walnuts or pecans as well. My sister-in-law is addicted to it. She calls it green goop, I don't know the official 'X" Salad name attached to it.

[@dustykeele]

In the 1970s, it was known as "Watergate Salad". In some areas, it remains a staple at family gatherings and potluck meals, usually under the name "Pistachio Salad".

[@DunyahDances]

I was relieved to learn that you can use crushed pineapple - I can't imagine grating a pineapple. LOL.

[@dustykeele]

Aren't we fortunate to live in a time when it's no longer necessary to grate a pineapple! 🍍💛

[@LukesJukes]

Hey Glenn. In the US you can buy pineapple in syrup pretty much everywhere. I suppose that’s one of the ‘Canada’ things when it comes to cooking that you often point out.

[@urluberlu2777]

Hi Glen, looks great! How much time would you say it took for the custard to set at 425'F?

[@srice6231]

That looks really yummy! Could you taste the strawberry jam at the bottom at all?

On a different subject, I'm changing the gears in our Professional kitchen-aid, 6qt, If I search on amazon, I used the model number , have several options, but none were of that gear number.

[@wbwillie]

good lord, that old grated apple pie sounds like an apple quiche LOL

[@petervanderwaart1138]

1) if you read up on the history of schooners and other small ships, you will learn there was a steady commerce bringing fruits and vegetables from the Caribbean to the US. 2) There were attempts to grow pineapples in south Florida when it was being developed beginning around 1900. They soon learned that Florida was just too far north and had freezes every so often which killed the plants.

[@evelynkorjack2126]

pineapple will grow and fruit in my yard, (lost 5 to the triple freeze this winter) but the survivors will be made into this pie. wish i knew about the pineapple thing 20 years ago, its a secret i guess. central florida, every top gets planted and most of them produce. takes about two years. zone 9b. "sand pits" 😎 Thank you so much for this recipe!

[@Robb1213]

Glen, how long did you end up baking the pie?

[@kcolombo49]

Are grated and crushed pineapple synonymous?

[@stumpybumpo]

Doesn't the bromelain in the pineapple denature the egg whites? Or does the pie go into the oven and bake too quickly for that to be an issue?

[@stewartholland1399]

Hi Glenn, if you see this, how long did you end up cooking it for?

[@bonniegreenbud5004]

So Glen, how long did you end up baking it for? And I'm going to assume that's 425° in Fahrenheit ;) I have chickens, and always looking for new ways to use eggs.

It's surprising how early 20th Century recipes differ vs late 20th Century. I'm most familiar with 1940s-ish. So much less sugar and fats compared to later 20th Century. Of course, 21th Century recipes are even worse with the fats and sugar (but man do they taste good)

[@GaryDeWitt-t6p]

Looks like it "upside downded", I was surprised. Do all pineapple baked recipes do this? Why?

I had to turn Glen down, since he was "jamming" out with the strawberry jam. He needs to watch those straws.

Why the layer of jelly?

[@gr8bragu368]

probably to insulate the bottom of the pie from the wet pineapple mixture, to keep from making a soggy crust. Plus it helped with sweetness too...

[@saulcontreras313]

Pineapple marlborough pie?

[@grahamrankin4725]

I noticed the jam ended up on top.

[@treasuremuch9185]

I'm thinking the top was likely browned/golden due to egg mixture, as souffles will and simple custard pies.

[@TheInconspicuousMan]

That author likes "nice" things

[@fugu4163]

Funny that they doesnt mention bakingpowder that was invented in the 1840s. Because stiff eggwhites was what they used instead before bakingpowder existed. If you ask me it is a little bit of hypocrysi to call it the cookbook of the 20th century and still use the old methods.

[@davidkonstam2377]

Would one typically put baking powder in a pie? I'm sure that the egg whites are not being used as a rising agent in a pie (that is usually a cake or bread concern).

[@virginiaf.5764]

​@@davidkonstam2377 Agree. It's a custard filling. Custards don't use baking powder.
