Annual Virtual Cookie Exchange



 Thank you once again goes out to Carol of   Just Let Me Quilt  for coordinating this wonderful annual event.

For me this is the most challenging hop of the year as I don't bake, not even virtually.  

In addition to being a quilter I play at a lot of different crafts.  One of my favorites is etching glass. During the summer I saw on line somewhere an etched mason jar.  As you all know once you see something and start hitting buttons and reading and hit more buttons and reading you veer off the original track and end up at a spot that takes you in a totally different direction.  This particular journey took me to a no cook recipe that I immediately marked for this hop. 


It was for a no cook pumpkin pie  in an individual serving mason jar.  Yes I made this and yes the jar is not etched.  When I went shopping for plain jars the week before Thanksgiving there were none, only these pretty ones. 


When I offered to bring dessert for Thanksgiving for 6 people ( I needed to do a sample for these pictures) my hostess looked skeptical. Ok, she has known me for 30 some years and she always does dessert even when she does the dinner as she was doing on Thanksgiving. 

Apparently no one had any faith in me since in addition to my pumpkin pie there was an apple pie and a walnut coffee cake for the 6 of us..

The fun part is that you build the pie layers, put the lid on the jar and store in the fridge till you are ready to eat it. 


Crust

 
Cream cheese and whipped cream


Pumpkin
One of these layers also had pudding.

The pie was really easy peasy to make.  I don't even own a mixer and was able to get the desired result by hand. This is where I found the recipe   


 Then when you go to serve it you open the jar and add the whipped cream and enjoy.

And would you believe, she asked me to make them again for Christmas. HA

Thanks so much for stopping by. I wish you and your family the very Merriest of Christmas's or the Happiest of the Holiday you celebrate this time of year and a healthy New Year.

Please take time to visit the other cooks ;-} participating in this fun hop and maybe you'll find a few great virtual ideas.   For your convenience here is a complete list of the hop members.

  4. Thanks Selina. That looks like something I could handle. I don't bake either. But last year, I thought I would try to bake some cookies for my grandson. Went through several books but knew it was hopeless. So I found some ready to bake at the grocery. Easy huh. Baked them and they fell all to pieces. Do you know they have a bakery in most grocery stores? LOL

  17. Wow glass etching. I love your pie idea in the jars. I am thinking I could make up a batch and it would be easier to transport with lids on. Thanks.

  22. Hi Selina! Your etched glass plate is beautiful. I tried that many moons ago and was amazed at how well the project actually turned out. Unfortunately, I never did any additional projects. I think your pumpkin pies turned out just fab!! And the greatest compliment is to be asked to make it again. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
