Greetings from the Jaramillos, including Ann (mama Jaramillo), who co-baked a delicious cherry pie with Mateo. These cute sour cherries with the texture and patina of grapes, were practically hand-picked from the Grand Army farmer's market. I am a big fan of the covered crust and let's be up front and honest, oleo is a-okay when it comes to pie-baking. Ann has tested the transfat-free Crisco and gives it high marks. This pie was made with 1/2 crisco 1/2 butter.

Another delicious dessert we ate was a flan made by Luis and mama Jaramillo. This is garnished with wild strawberries, also hand-picked from Grand Army green market.
