Can I make a pie from dried elderberries?

Yes. You probably need to soak them for awhile to plump them up. I haven't tried it but read good comments about cooking the berries in sugar and cornstarch (a base of maybe water?) To thicken the filling up.

I have frozen pies in them. I have never used them from freezer to a hot oven. I would be scared to do that. The pie pops out of the glass dish easily and when I baked the pie I did not use the dish. I would not trust them to be able to do that. There is no writing on the bottom of the glass dish except the number 13. Do not know what that means

I would try it out using a recipe of 1/4 of the ingredients called for and see how it turns out pressing the dough into the pie pan instead of rolling and cutting. I personally don't use Gluten-free cooking, but this is my suggestion.

What I buy is the hard red winter wheat berries and it is good for making bread. You can make pie crusts and biscuits but they would be heavy. I would purchase the soft wheat berries for making those.

I have not used it except to make egg custard pie. It is a little bland in taste. Sorry I can't help you.

Wayne, I never measured the finished pies. They don't last long enough for me to do something like that, my family snatches them off the plate.But I would ask -- measure from rim to rim or from where the filling is?Be well,D

Although you can use it for jams, I would not recommend it. I believe the texture it produces to be more suited toward pie filling. I would recommend using pectin for jam if you feeling you need something that produces very "set up" jam. Usually, I rely on the natural pectins from the fruit to produce a desirable jam consistency.

I haven't tried any of the small seeded berries, but there are instructions in the 'recipe booklet' for steaming them. It should work as long as you don't mash the berries after or while they are cooking. (You aren't supposed to mash any of the fruit while it is in the steam...unless you are intentionally trying to get some of the pulp.)

I have no idea, it isn't something you would think of using to make a pie crust, but I suppose if you combined it with the right binders it would work.. I'm not sure it would be that satisfactory. I used it as mosltly a suppliment

I like to make fresh remedies myself. I purchase organic only. The receipe I use (but there are others) is:3 cups of water, 1/2 cup of Elderberries, 2 small cinnamon sticks, 8 whole cloves. You can also add 1/3 cup Echinacea syrup and slices or chopped fresh ginger. Place all ingredients in pot, bring to boil then simmer uncovered for about 1/2 hour. Strain liquid and press down on elderberries to extract any remaining juice. When warm stir in raw organic honey (use to taste) . There are varying recipes but this one works for me and family. I don't add ginger to my mixture because I make fresh ginger tea with lemongrass, cinnamon and honey. Good luck. I like to make fresh remedies myself. I purchase organic only.

Totally, that's how I warm up my meat pies. I bake and freeze....though you want to make sure that they are only *cold* when they go in the toaster oven. Not frozen...tempered or not it could break them.

Yes you certainly can, my electric oven is 44 years old, an old St George, coming towards its last days, have no trouble using any of my Granite Ware oval roaster or 5 qrt round casserole item, easy to clean, takes minutes, best thing that I have ever bought. Cheers.

I have not tried but am sure you could. As a child we used to purchase cod fish flakes to make them . With the dried cod pieces I would rehydrate the fish and brake them into little bits to mix with other ingredients. Sorry this is all I can recommend

Yes, it is much cheaper. I use 1/2 cup elderberries, 5 whole cloves, tablespoon of grated ginger, one cinnamon stick and two cups of filtered water. Bring to a boil, then simmer 20 to 30 minutes or until reduced by half. Strain into a bowl squeezing all the juice from the cooked ingredients. When cooled, add one cup of raw local honey. Stir together, place in jar and store in refrigerator. I take one tablespoon each day for preventive medicine and up to 3 tablespoons when feeling a cold or flu coming on.

Either liquid or dry ingredients will work. I have used mine to make pie crust and handmade mayo among many other things. (My old work bowl was so worn, the flour would fly out of it like fine dust! Yuk. But this new replacement works beautifully. Happy cooking!

You can still use this pie plate. Plenty of room with meringue on top. Hope this helps

I have only ever purchased the Adult Dog Food, not the Senior stuff, but I would assume the pieces are the same size and if that's true then no, these are the larger chunks of dog food. Maybe you could grind them up in a food processor or mash them or soften them with warm water. Sorry I couldn't be more help! Good luck :)
