Sprinkle the walnuts over the crusts and then mix in the filling. The eggs must be well beaten before adding the sugar, gradually. Then fold in flour, corn syrup and 1 1/2 cups of water. Bake in very hot oven (425) for three minutes and then reduce to medium (350) for 30 to 40 minutes.

Good Morning Everyone,

Just got back from Amish America. If you get a chance run over there, he has a beautiful fall post today.
We are close to 100,000 pageviewers for all time history. I think we will hit today.
Marilyn
I don't count well, we still have 10,000 to go before we hit 100,000. I think that will take a little while yet.

I had Shoo Fly Pie once. It was a small piece with some ice cream on the side, and it was okay, but not my favorite. It's interesting to see what ingredients are in it.

Hi Doreen,
I like Jean's Shoo Fly pie, but then again, I don't know if I would like someone else's.
Marilyn
Thank you for the pie recipe!!! I will try it in the upcoming days!

Ask Jean if she collects her black walnuts...You all know I do, but, for anyone else..I have never seen them for sale in stores...
Hi Chris,
You are most welcome. We aim to please our folks.

Hi Sue Ann,
I will ask Jean. Does it really make any difference what walnuts you use? What if you don't have dark walnuts?
Marilyn
I think it is all about the flavor- English walnuts are much milder in taste- black walnuts are a bit stronger.
Thank you, Sue Ann. I remember when we had walnuts falling from trees in our area or you could pick them. They are all gone now. Taken down because the walnuts falling was a nuisance. I don't know where to go look for them now.
Marilyn
Answering Sue Ann, Jean does collect walnuts or, sometimes she, sends the children to collect them for her. She had walnut trees behind her old house, but none at the new one. The Amish people that bought her old house said she could have whatever she wanted in walnuts. So she gets to go back to see her old house, converse with the owners and get some walnuts.
Marilyn
how does she crack them? I have never been able to well, no matter what method I used. I would love to make this pie, walnuts are everywhere here, but I have never been successful in getting the meat out of them, please ask her what she uses, thank you.
Hi Annie,
I will have to ask Jean. I know my Mom had a nut cracker. You put the nut in it and squeeze, it would crack it open. In fact, I sill have it, it is one of my items I couldnt let go when she passed on.
Marilyn
Black walnuts are tough! A regular nut cracker does not work well....it does for English walnuts, tho. AZ hammer is the best way..they have to be pretty dry..after you take the outer husk off, they have to dry..about 6 weeks, to be really good...and you try to hit right on the seam, but it will shatter many times..and you spend a great deal of time picking the nut meats out, from the shell....You can gather them and crack them right away too, if you plan to cook with them....but for long term storage, they need to dry a bit first.
I think that's great that Jean can still go back and collect...black walnut trees are getting harder to find anymore- for the reason you say- they are "messy"....
There are some nut crackers made, specifically for black walnuts...but are expensive, at least the ones I have found..from different on- line stores and such. Walnuts are like fruit trees...some years they produce gangbusters, and other years..none...when they are flush, we collect all we can, as we know the next year may not be as plentiful. And, they can stay dried , in the shell, for a long time too.....
