Guest guest Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 For a lower-fat version, make the crust 100% from dates. Just throw the pitted dates into the food processor and run it, it will become a big date ball. Then spread it out in the pie pan and freeze it. (I don't generally recommend freezing, but this is fun!) Then put the filling in that a little later on. You can also make a topping of dates and water, perhaps a dash of lemon or lime juice. In the processor, or even better in a Vita-Mix, if you have. Just enough water to make it a fairly thick liquid, then spread it all around. You might consider dropping the psyllium. This pie is already dehydrating enough to your system without it.

Alissa uses the food processor a lot. Just throw the ingredients in and spread 'em out. Sometimes dehydrate. I just made my own pie recipe up...(not a dehydrate recipe) using a take off on her blueberry pie crust. Crust: 2 cups pecans, 1/2 C dates in processor...spread out in pie plate. In processor I used 3 1/2 chopped apples with peels, some coconut cream from Tropical Traditions, dash vanilla, some mesquite meal, a couple of TBS psyllium, dash lemon juice, one frozen banana. Add things until it's not too thin. That's the filling...sprinkle some coconut on top. Refrigerate if you don't eat it first. Diana of Dewberry Hill (I can't wait to make a dewberry pie this summer) I read the whole book thru, including all of the recipes, and to me the recipes looked easy to make but I haven't made any of then, yet. I never have all the ingredients to put them together and I am not good at putting in substitutes, yet. I would like to see how she makes them on the DVD that she has put out.
