What does all this have to do with pie filling? Well, my mother and grandmother always just used plain sour cream in their molds and put fruit in the gelatin. Granted that layer of creamy goodness does add an extra step to the molding process, but the end result is soooooo worth it. It was a nice tart shock to the tastebuds that made everyone, yours truly included, come back for seconds. She used to put a layer of sour cream in the middle to cut the sweetness. But here’s what makes my grandmother’s so unusual and a little more interesting. (As a matter of fact the pan I used to make this treat, the one in the photo, was my great aunt’s.) Here’s what’s great about a jello mold: it looks beautiful, tastes even better and is the perfect potluck treat. My mother’s been making this mold ever since I was a kid and her mother made it before her. So what’s perfect for a summer picnic? Why a jello mold of course. I even like to have them in my own back yard on occasion just to change it up. There’s nothing better than sitting on the beach or mountaintop with your family or that special someone and eating yummy treats. I love picnics because they scream summer to me. (If you’d like to see what the other party goers brought to our virtual potluck, check out the hashtag #luckyleafluckyme on Twitter.) So Lucky Leaf sent me some cans of pie filling and recruited me to participate in today’s virtual picnic potluck. I couldn’t believe canned pie filling could taste that good. So, when I asked her how she got her blueberry layer so rich and thick, she whispered it was Lucky Leaf pie filling. Well, I finally got my wish since she was kind enough to bring an amazing Blueberry Coffee Cake to camp to share with everyone. Every time she posts something sweet and delicious, I want a bite. She’s an awesome baker who I’ve been following for awhile. While there I met the wonderful and super talented Kelly Jaggers of Evil Shenanigans. As you know I attended camp over Memorial Day.
