Some more baking pictures

Partusch says his life is falling apart, because I haven't posted in awhile. I've made a quite a few items during the past couple weeks, but I forgot to take pictures of many of them. Thanksgiving was a success, though. I made a cranberry sauce from real cranberries as well as dried cherries, cloves, cinnamon sticks, etc. I also mashed some red-skinned potatoes with some chives, butter and garlic... and it was an instant hit. Other than that, it was pretty standard Thanksgiving fare.

I made a pumpkin-pecan pie the other week. The pictures don't really reveal the "pumpkin" part of the pie, but it was essentially a two layer pie with pumpkin on the bottom and a caramelized pecan filling on the top. I actually tried this one... and it was quite good.














I made a cranberry coffee cake today and it was another hit with the Kairos Krew. Getting the cranberry jelly just right was the trickiest part. I was also pretty happy with the way the layering worked out.
