PIES and TARTS

Storage recommendations for pies and tarts will vary, depending on the filling used. While some will keep at room temperature or in the refrigerator (wrapped in foil) for several days, others are best served on the same day as baked. Pies are best frozen in an unbaked state to prevent crust shrinkage. Wrapped in a layer of plastic wrap and a layer of foil, they will keep for several months in the freezer. Bake before defrosting.
