My post yesterday was all about WATERMELON and MEMORIES
and I told you about a
CREAMY WATERMELON PIE recipe I saw in THE COUNTRY DOOR catalog.
I couldn't wait to try it....
I made it today and may I just say...
O HONEY
So light and fluffy and......PINK.
It's one of those "get outa town" tastes...at least for me.
Watermelon just doesn't seem to "go" in a PIE but, it is pretty darn good.
......just different.

If you like WATERMELON, you will absolutely LUV this pie.
Very easy to make...
I used a store-bought GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST and it was delicious.
Mr. Sweet especially likes WATERMELON so he is lovin' this pie.
Strawberries with Strawberry gelatin would be
OUT. OF. THIS. WORLD. good, too.
Strawberries being MY favorite....yep, I'm making it next.
It sure made a PRETTY pie....

Oh, that looks so good!! I am just getting ready to go to bed and now I will dream of watermelon pie. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh yum! That looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteWOW, That's a new one!!! I think this will be a keeper for sure...Thank you for sharing it with us...
ReplyDeleteHave a fun weekend,
Big Hugs,
Donna
Bj, This looks so interesting. I am with you, I probably would go for the same recipe except using strawberries.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Ginger
Bj, I am learning about different things that you can do with watermelon. Maybe that was what I should have told them I wanted for my birthday today at work. We had cake to go with our cheeseburgers and hotdogs. I watch a grilling contest and they grilled watermelon on the grill. I like pineapple that way. Have a great weekend. Your Missouri Friend
ReplyDeleteI love me some watermelon but I think I will stick to the juicy, drip down you face way of eating it.
ReplyDeleteI have to say a pie didn't wound very nice at all, but I trust you... I may try, or just stick with it au naturel or in ice cream. But it does sound intriguing - and now I'm thinking cheesecake? Trifle?
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday!
Such a fun color and it sure sounds good-enjoy:@)
ReplyDeleteI love watermelon, plus I like anything that is pink and fluffy looking so I would love it I'm sure. The husband doesn't like watermelon so much, though, so I would end up eating the whole pie myself.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of Watermellon Pie! Another first, for this Olden Gal.
ReplyDeleteAnd who told me? Why Sweet BJ, of course! :-)
Oh and Hon, in regard to my using all alllll-white-blog-look, I can't really pull it off, like you do. You can make those always different and cute and sassy HEADERS. I can't. So an all-white-blog-look is just blahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, for me. -pout-
But I did switch back to Picture Window Template and can get some softly pretty backgrounds again. :-)

I never even heard of watermelon pie! That looks so refreshing BJ!
ReplyDeleteThe cubes of watermelon are a twist. Sounds intriguing and looks so gorgeous and fluffy.
ReplyDeleteUm Yum! I want a slice. Pink, Pretty and Delicious. What more could a girl want?
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday, BJ.
Gotta try this one... is there any left for me? I think I would love the strawberry also:) Have a blessed day dear BJ, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteThat looks absolutely luscious! And the photos are so gorgeous and summery! I want to hang on to summer as long as possible. We're starting to feel a bit of fall in the air. :-(
ReplyDeleteGood morning bj, I have made a similar pie but this is a first for me. It look so pretty in pink and looks delicious too. Watermellon pie is sure different. Only you would share this pie HA!
ReplyDeleteMy friend Bobbie from CA is still sleeping this am so yay! a bit of time to visit. She flies home on Monday. We are having a great time together.
Hugs,
