The April, 2008 edition of Saveur, a wonderful magazine filled with tips and global delicacies, gives homage to the many delectables to be had in Minnesota.  From our annual smelt run to sophisticated cheese made from sheep milk and the "jucy lucy" hamburger from Matt’s Bar in Minneapolis. 

Up in Markdown Mom’s neck of the woods, the rhubarb pie of Betty’s Pies located in Two Harbors is listed as one of the ten regional tastes that are the quintessential Minnesota food experience.  Established in 1956, Betty and Lloyd Lessard bought Andy’s Fish Shack in Two Harbors and opened a cafe.  Beginning in 1958, Betty started selling pies and the rest is history.  In 1984, after 28 years, Betty sold the business. 

Today, Betty’s Pies is still in business selling pies based upon Betty’s original recipes. However, not everyone can drive to Two Harbors to savor Betty’s pies and baked goods.  If you want to try Betty’s mouth watering pies  and enjoy the aroma of fresh baked pie that will fill your home, MDM urges you to buy Betty Lessard’s recipe book, Betty’s Pies Favorite Recipes now available at Amazon reg. $16.95, on sale $13.22.

For the pie connoisseur in your family, you can’t go wrong.
