What a GREAT braid recipe this is! I have used the recipe two times since attending the recent KAF Traveling Demo in Anaheim, CA. We were able to go only to the evening Basic Piecrust session, but the recipe (without lemon filling) was in the booklet we received. My first try I made a blueberry filling with frozen blueberries; the second time I cooked an apricot filling. Of course, I had to add my usual 1 tsp. freshly ground cardamom seeds to give that comfort food taste from my Swedish grandmother. Also, the dough was so easy to prepare for "braiding" and looked great. Now I have a lemon filling to try. (Apricot filling: Simmer 1/2# chopped dried apricots, 1/3 c. sugar, and 1 c. orange juice for 45 min. I also added a little Pie Enhancer at the end.) You GO girl! I love the idea of cardamom in the dough. P.S. My maiden name was MaryJane Robinson, so we are almost twins! Thanks for sharing. ~ MaryJane
