LINN’S FABULOUS OLALLIEBERRY PIES
If you want to indulge in a great fruit pie, get your hands on an olallieberry pie from Linn’s in Cambria. The olallieberry has the physical characteristics of the classic blackkberry, but it is genetically about two-thirds blackberry and one-third red raspberry (according to the blurb in Linn’s Berry Farm Gift catalog).
The deep dish pies are oozing with olallieberries — and they are beyond FABULOUS, notes a work colleague. The only pie that beats these, she added, are her aunt’s homemade blackberry pies, but she hasn’t had those in years since her aunt lives out of state.
Linn’s pies are shipped frozen, packed in dry ice. Stash them in the freezer when they arrive. You simply brush egg on top and bake them straight from the freezer — no thawing necessary. You have to purchase two pies at a time — $39.95 plus shipping and handling. To order, call (805) 925-1499 or (800) 676-1670 or go online to Linn's.
Linn’s also offers a selection of other fruit pies (peach-blueberry, blueberry, plum, apricot, etc.) as well as cakes, preserves, syrups, fruit butters and muffins. (We’ve heard the Olallieberry ‘n’ Cream Muffins are terrific!) I can’t wait to try the pies and muffins — I trust my foodie friend who raves about them.
