Tip for Better Baking #45

When baking pies, make sure to taste the filling before putting the pie in the oven. The flavor of the filling can completely change depending on the quality of the fruit. When you taste the filling, you can add a bit more sugar, another pinch of salt, or a teaspoon of cinnamon and adjust the flavors according to your preferences. Tasting the filling is most important with fruit pies but I try to taste all fillings to give myself a chance for a last minute adjustment.
