Another Grocery Store Comfort Food - Pie Filling We tested apple and cherry pie filling from the regular canned goods at the grocery store as a comfort food. We do not plan to bake but put it on steel cut oats cooked in our slow cooker or in our solar cooker as a topping to make a quick and easy dessert. We are getting to the stage of preps where we want to have cheer up stuff which might be especially helpful during gloomy times. It keeps 4 or 5 years. The expensive Comstock brand taste best, but add vanilla and nutmeg to the half as expensive brand x and it is pretty good. They have apple, peach, blueberry and cherry. If your freezer and oven keep working you can have a few frozen pie crusts and make the pie too. Also, if your freezer is working (or you have a really cold unheated room in winter) and you have a long shelf life milk substitute like honeyville's mountain milk substitute you can stir nearly frozen pie filling into thick cool milk for a neighbor to cherry vanilla ice cream without much labor at all. I do not want the wife spending all day in the kitchen. Some enjoy that, and we both do sometimes, but we want that to be by choice, not necessity. It is good on pancakes too.

Re: Another Grocery Store Comfort Food - Pie Filling I actually enjoy chopping wood when it is cold enough. But nah, I want her to have time to paint and stuff.

Re: Another Grocery Store Comfort Food - Pie Filling That is a good comfort food idea. What is the shelf life of pie filling? There is a lot of sugar in them yes? Are you using store brands?

Re: Another Grocery Store Comfort Food - Pie Filling The store brand is about 2 bucks a can cheaper and ok if you add some vanilla and nutmeg, IMO. But I do like the Comstock better. If it is not hot in your pantry area most canned goods are 5 years or a bit more. It would be a rotate thing too. And yes, it is a sugary, fattening comfort item. If you like the apple it is much less expensive than the cherry, which is my favorite.
