Sharon-Shortening [Was Easy Apple Pie/Crust recipe]

[Guest guest]

Spectrum Organics makes a (vegan) shortening without trans fats. It

still has a high fat content, so I've only used it a couple of times,

but I thought it worked really well. Here's a link to the product info:

http://www.spectrumorganics.com/?id=87. (It's at the bottom of the

page, with another link to nutritional info.) Hope this helps!

 

Peace,

Maureen

Thanks, Maureen! Cool! What was that old slogan?... " Your life made

better by science. " :-)
