Dear Folks, I have a confession to make. I had indicated that I would add caraway seeds into the filling instead of the pie crust. Well I did just that. But it left me with only a small amount of caraway seeds left in the metal can I've had for years. How many years? Well, when I checked the price stamped on the top of the Schilling can, it reads $.13!!!!! Now why do I have the feeling that most of my spices are waaayyyy beyond their expiration dates? But hey, they still work for me and you can't knock that. You just have to adjust to it and add a little more than what the recipe calls for. You don't throw out anything that's still good just because it might be a bit stale. Work with it and you'll still get the same results in spite of what Julia Child might have insisted on. But I have to admit that I was totally surprised that the price of the can of caraway seeds was only $.13. Good grief, we must be talking about WELL over 20 years ago! vee
