I made the pie for the church carry in. It was a hit! I wouldn't tell anyone what it was until they tasted it. I eavesdropped on comments. I heard "What are those berries?" (I used some of the berries for garnish.) "This tastes like pink lemonade." "It reminds me of a sweet tart."
After telling people what it was I got a lot of raised eyebrows. I explained that it is different than poison sumac. I took a couple ladies out to the parking lot where there is some staghorn sumac growing. I still got some of the "it is good, but you are weird" looks, but hey I never said I was trying to be normal! :)

I made sumac tea for the first time and would love to get your recipe for sumac pie. I loved the tea, my husband thought I was trying to poison him haha. When I explained about Staghorn Sumac he tried it but I'd made it strong so he wasn't too keen. Please send your recipe to highlandergirl40@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI'm very eager to try it while the staghorn are in full bloom. : )
Thanks
