Baking and Storing Instructions
Quiche purchased fresh should be used promptly or frozen (wrapped securely) for up to 3 months. After freezing, defrost before microwaving
or heating in the oven. Remove from tin before microwaving. Microwave one or 2 portions at a time for about 2 minutes or until hot.
A large quiche may be heated whole in an oven for about 25-30 minutes at 325 degrees. Smaller quiche will require 15 to 20 minutes.
Back to Quiches. Back to French Tarts.
Fruit Pies
Fruit pies may be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or frozen up to 3 months. Defrost frozen pies and warm in an oven before
serving. Pies taste better at least at room temperature and will be fine out at room temperature for several hours. On Thanksgiving
we recommend putting the pie into the still warm oven when the turkey has been removed and the oven has been shut off. After dinner,
your pie will be deliciously warm! Try them with some ice cream. Mmmm! Back to Artisan Pies.
Custard Pies
Custard pies (Pumpkin, Coconut Custard and Sweet Potato) may be stored in the refrigerator up to one week or frozen up to 3 months.
Southern Bourbon Pecan Pie can be kept in the refrigerator up to 3 weeks or frozen for 3 months. Defrost frozen pies before serving.
The pecan pie can be left at room temperature for several hours but the Pumpkin, Coconut and Sweet Potato should be kept refrigerated.
Many people like the Pecan Pie warm especially with ice cream. Back to Artisan Pies.
Layer Cakes, Cheesecakes and other Desserts
Layer Cakes and Cheesecakes may be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week or frozen up to 3 months. Brownies and Blondies may
be kept a room temperature for 5 days in an airtight container or frozen up to 3 months. They are well suited for mailing and travel.
Most cakes taste better when they are allowed to warm to near room temperature-still cool, but not too cold. During summer months,
do not allow them to get too warm. Back to Desserts.
