I promised not to reveal the contents until safe passage past Australian and US customs. Now, I make this pecan pie every Christmas holiday with the nuts from my very own tree--can't get more character or flavor than this allows.

I've seen a few sugar maples grown as street trees, but they look almost as miserable as the C W Mageehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706100504739548720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20092824.post-22800287074046089192006-12-17T08:11:00.000+11:002006-12-17T08:11:00.000+11:00I suppose that maple syrup and walnuts, being tota...I suppose that maple syrup and walnuts, being totally non-indigenous, would be rather hard for you to find.ScienceWomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17144262447487095454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20092824.post-9478910715702336932006-12-15T21:04:00.000+11:002006-12-15T21:04:00.000+11:00I was wondering if a maple/walnut pie could be ada...I was wondering if a maple/walnut pie could be adapted- evidently my<br />inadequate knowledge of the literature has blinded me to the answer.<br />But here in Australia, maple syrup is even more expensive than karo,<br />and black walnuts are impossible to find.

However, I suggest that next time you feel like experimenting, you try the recipe for Maple Walnut Pie found in the Moosewood Cookbook. It is an easy to make, clast-supported bit of yumminess.
