Good morning, how are you? Welcome to our series sharing Food Holidays: February 20th, 2022. Today is National Cherry Pie Day. I remember as a child my brother was taking Home Economics and he decided to make a Cherry Pit including Homemade Pie Crust and my parents saying that was the best Cherry Pie they ever had
In the next couple weeks, we will be visiting my brother and in Charlie’s Homeschool Cooking Class I am going to teach him how to make Pie Crust and both a Cherry and Apple Pie to take to my brother as a surprise. Would you like to have a slice of Pie with us before we leave? If so, would you make Homemade Whipped Cream for our Pies for us?
National Cherrie Pie Day comes on the 20th of February to observe all Pie enthusiasts who actively eat Pie for breakfast, lunch, or supper.
Pie is a very popular delicacy, and many people prefer having a slice of Pie as part of their daily meal. National Cherry Pie Day is almost at the same time as when we celebrate President’s Day of the renowned President George Washington and his characteristic Cherry Tree because Cherries were the President’s favorite foods.
Colonists of the old times were enthusiastic about cooking their Pies in such a way that they would appear long and narrow, which is why they branded them coffyns, similar to the English Crust. In the same way, during the Roman era, the old age American Pie Crusts were simply designed for all purposes but not eating. Some of these reasons include providing a base for filling when baking was done. However, when the American Revolution happened, the word coffin was replaced by Crust. It is therefore clear to explain why in present-day America; Cherry Pie has attracted the name “the great American dish” and Cherry Pie has since grown to become a very popular recipe.
Cherry Pie has very many benefits, including its characteristic natural and healthy sweetness that makes Cherry Pie a popular delicacy. Cherry Pie also celebrates significant anti-inflammatory qualities and stands as a perfect enabler for sleep and rests enabler. In eating a Slice of Cherry Pie, you are also exposed to the best of minimal chances of Gout attacks and a remarkable conversion of Cancer-fighting agents.
