Possibly you’ve seen her on her bike with camera in mid-air, poised in readiness for a shot. Possibly you’ve seen her reclined in her front yard discovering the best lighting and best angle for sharing the magnificence of a hollyhock or other flower. Possibly you’ve seen her at ReStore where she’s volunteered for the past 7 ½ years.

Wherever you’ve seen her, you can be sure Karen Ward was pondering, contemplating, or dreaming of how to share her love of capturing treasures with her camera just as she did as a child on family camping trips.

The perfect pie for a cold winter day: Icon Almond-Cherry Pie

Icon Almond-Cherry Pie

2 cups frozen sour cherries
1 cup slivered almonds
1/3 cup white flour
½ cup white sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup half-and-half
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon almond extract
1 pie shell

On a recent Sunday afternoon we took a “Dense Cherry-Almond Coffeecake Pie” recipe from one of our favorite pie cookbooks and modified it to the Icon’s taste. That means we used lots less sugar, substituted half-and-half in place of full-fat sour cream and used only two eggs.
