The pictures aren't great because I was too lazy to set it up properly, but here's my "recipe" for making Not Pumpkin Pie.
Ingredients: 1-2 lbs medjool dates, 4-6 large ripe bananas, 5-6 ripe persimmons - preferably a jelly like variety.
Step One - The Crust: Pit dates and press date halves all around the bottom of a pie plate.
Step Two - The Filling: Peel bananas, break them in half and place them in the plate, mash lightly with fork until bananas are even all over.
Step Three - The Topping: Scoop out persimmon jelly, spread evenly all over the top.
Slice, serve and enjoy! (Would probably taste good chilled, too!)
My husband loved this pie SO much that he said it was better than any real pie he's ever eaten. (And this guy LOVES his pie, I tell ya, so that was a pretty big compliment.) He has requested that I make it again at Christmas, and forevermore every Thanksgiving and Christmas season.
My kids ate it right up.
Things we liked about this pie:
1) Has only 3 ingredients
2) Took only 15 minutes to prepare, from start to finish.
3) Actually took longer to eat than it was to make. (Cooked pies take hours to make and seconds to eat lol.)
4) Is ultra low fat
5) Did not require heating or cooking.
6) Is super sweet but does not contain processed sugar or sweeteners of ANY kind.
What is not to like? :) Let me know how ya like it, if you try it!

14 rotten tomatoes:
We will have to try this recipe as soon as I have enough ripe persimmons....they are one fruit that really build up your patience!!!
droool!
That sounds delicious.
Unfortunately I have none of those ingredients right now, hehe.
But as soon as I do, that's one pie I'm gonna be trying out.
Thanks for posting that.
(/wipes keyboard clean, ahem)
Sarah, your pie looks beautiful but your music sounds amazing!
When and where did you have your recital? I have gotten through the same ordeal in 1997-98 during my junior and senior recitals.
It is so amazing to find a fellow raw vegan pianist!
If it 's not too much to ask for I'd like to e-mail to you with some personal questions. Could you share your e-mail address?
Mine is freeeverafter@gmail.com
You don't need to post this rotten tomato in its entirety, feel free to tweak it.
I never have enough persimmons at one time! :( It looks delicious!
Happy Day!

Not Pumpkin Pie, check.
It's officially added to my recipe collection.
:)
That pie sounds and looks delicious!
Just wanted to say, I've been following your blogs for a while via Tracey's, and I just caught up on this one, and I'm really so inspired by your dedication to this. I wish I could do what you're doing, but I'm not there yet. I hate admitting it but I'm just too lazy to do all the research you do! However, perhaps I'll try to copy a few of your posted daily food intakes -- so I'll know I get the proportions right, since I'm just mooching off your research :) -- for a few days and see how I do. (Not look for "results" so much as see how I feel.)
Hey Sally-Anne, how cool that you're thinking of trying this for awhile! You can't go wrong if you eat as much fruit as you care for for breakfast, as much fruit as you care for for lunch, and for dinner - if you're very hungry, as much fruit as you care for followed by as much veggies as you care for. If not hungry, then just do the veggies for dinner. :)
What I like about this is that it's really that simple! :) Let me know how you do!
We tried this recipe today, but not in pie form. I had 4 persimmons ripe and hungry children at lunch time. We sliced up a couple of bananas in a bowl, spread the yummy gel of a persimmon on the banana, and then chopped a couple of dates on top. We each had a bowl of your yummy pie. It tasted awesome. Definitely easy, quick, and sweet. Thanks for sharing!!!
I'm so glad you guys liked it, Sarah! My DH and kids are worried that there won't be any persimmons left by Christmas to make this again. If so, I will try mango puree instead, which is the original recipe I found.
When you put it that way, it does sound easy! I just have to remember not to overload on fatty stuff like avocados and nuts. For the dinner veggies -- can it be stuff like cucumbers and tomatoes, or does it have to only be leafies?
It sounds so odd to me to just sit and eat ten bananas in a sitting. But really, why not? I've always been too daunted by variety anyway. Simple is better!
YUMMMMMM! Can't wait to try. Love simple.

Sally-Anne, tomatoes, cukes, all veggies, count as part of your greens intake. So enjoy! :)
I made this last night. Thank you so much!!! Yummy!!! Mine wasn't as low in fat, because I put pecans on the bottom....but YUM!
.....sorry I forgot to note. My persimmon are not jelly like, so I just removed the skin and mashed them with a potato masher. It made them jelly like :) If you worry about running out of persimmons, but you have access to them now..you can freeze them. My Dad has a tree and he freezes them to make persimmon cookies later.
