Making Pie Crust with Lard

One thing I love to do is make pies, including my own pie crust. A homemade pie crust with lard has a flavor and texture so superior to a store-bought crust and is so easy to make, that I never even think of buying one. If you have cold butter (and/or lard), flour, salt, and sugar, you can have a pie crust dough ready to put in the refrigerator in 10 minutes.

Piccalilli Pepper Relish

Today, Piccalilli Pepper Relish is still a great way to use up all those sweet and hot peppers that start overflowing in July and August. It has a sweet and sour tanginess that is great as a condiment for pork roast or fried chicken, or greens. Like any good relish, you can also put it on hot dogs and in deviled eggs. You can really use it as a table condiment the same way you use salsa or ketchup.
