Processor Pie Crust

Foolproof, easy, fast: this is my go-to recipe for making pie crust. The simple ingredients mean pie-making is a cinch; the crusts work well for both sweet and savory dishes. The crusts also freeze well, either rolled out and placed in the tin, or simply flattened into a disk. You'll like the nutty flavor and attractive appearance of the whole wheat in the dough.

Makes 3 crusts for 9 inch pies

Maria Speck's Shortcut Polenta

Cooking polenta the traditional way will lock you down for the better part of an hour, standing and stirring and pawing at the film on the bottom of the pot, trying to keep it from scorching and adhering there forever. This simple make-ahead method shaves of at least 2/3 of the active cooking time, so that you can get creamy, no-sacrifice polenta on the table on a weeknight in 15 minutes. Adapted slightly from Simply Ancient Grains.

Fig lemon preserves

When we have lots of fresh fig (every summer, twice) I make this. The lemon cuts the sweetness of the fruit and cinnamon adds a little something special without tasting like cinnamon. I make some without and with pecans stirred in last minute. I've also used the crock pot to cook this down, about 4 hours. Too bad my Meyer lemons and figs aren't ripe at same time...
