- I'm standing up here chuckling, y'all,
0:02
as I read this letter from Matthew Swinson.
0:08
He sent me a letter and we had conversed earlier
0:17
Or I chatted about Matthew on a video.
0:20
But anyway, he said his grandmother, Loretta
0:27
used to make something that so stands out in his childhood.
0:32
He said, "Especially at the holidays,
0:36
and it was called Possum Pie.
0:42
Now don't worry, you don't have to go hunting
0:44
for a real possum to make this pie.
0:45
Laugh out loud." (Paula laughs)
0:48
"Not sure where it's got its name, but it basically consists
0:51
of pineapple, frozen whipped topping, and pecans.
0:55
And grandma would always joke
0:57
that the pineapple was the possum meat
1:01
and the pecans were his toenails.
1:05
But no matter what you call it it's certainly good
1:09
and I hope you try it.
1:11
of your upcoming YouTube videos using this."
1:16
and, "Best dishes to you, Paula, from Matthew Swinson."
1:22
So, another great dump
1:33
I don't know who's gonna eat three pies.
1:36
- [Videographer] Three possum pies.
1:39
- [Teresa] There's one, two, three.
1:45
Now the recipe I want
1:48
to make sure I tell y'all right.
1:54
We need a 12 ounce tub of frozen whipped topping.
2:01
I don't think they make a 12 ounce anymore.
2:06
Teresa, do we still have that smaller tub?
2:09
'Cause this is still frozen.
2:11
- [Teresa] Yeah. It's in the refrigerator.
2:16
I think I'm gonna switch about
2:20
and because you know if you
2:24
are using a frozen whipped topping
2:26
and it's not thawed, if you stir it like turns to milk.
2:31
So, alright, now let's see this is eight ounce
2:36
and we need a 12 ounce.
2:42
how many ounces did I say?
2:45
So, I don't know, it's just frozen,
2:51
We'll just go with what we got.
2:54
(spatula hits metal bowl)
2:56
I didn't realize they had maybe quit making.
2:59
- [Teresa] Yeah, they go now from eight
3:00
and then just 16. (spatula hits metal bowl)
3:04
- [Teresa] They are messing me up on recipes.
3:07
- All right, now we gonna add a large can
3:12
of crushed pineapple with the juice.
3:16
(pineapple and juice sloshes into bowl)
3:18
I mean, this is lovely.
3:19
You just dip, dip, dip, and stir.
3:25
One can of sweetened condensed milk.
3:31
And I swear, I think you might could put this
3:33
on a booger and it'd be good.
3:36
Sweetened condensed milk. Lord, have mercy.
3:43
I made a new friend the other day
3:44
and she sent me a picture of her little granddaughter
3:49
and she said, "The only thing
3:51
is she eats boogers." (can placed on counter)
3:53
(Teresa and Paula laugh)
3:54
And I said, "Well welcome to my world,
3:57
because I've got a grandchild
3:58
that would eat boogers too."
4:02
"That I have been trying to break."
4:06
All right, now we're just gonna fold all this together.
4:08
(pecans dumped in bowl)
4:12
Oh yeah, this gonna be good.
4:16
So, I don't think we wanna beat it,
4:18
but we want to more or less fold it.
4:21
(spatula folds mixture)
4:31
And that's to go down and up and over.
4:35
Down and up and over.
4:40
I think it could probably use some more nuts.
4:42
- [Teresa] Imagine that.
4:44
- Uh huh. You know I'm nuts about nuts.
4:46
- [Teresa] I know you are nuts about nuts.
4:49
(spatula folds mixture)
4:56
- And see that's still kind of frozen.
5:03
(spatula folds mixture)
5:15
One 12 ounce tub of frozen whipped topping
5:19
and one large can of crushed pineapple with the juice.
5:22
One can of sweetened condensed milk, four teaspoons
5:25
of lemon juice, one cup of chopped nuts,
5:27
and three gram cracker crust pie shells.
5:41
We got not need any kind (item placed in sink)
5:46
of meringue or anything like that.
5:54
All right, there's one.
5:58
(tinfoil being pulled from roll)
6:03
If this makes three pies
6:04
it would make three shallow pies
6:14
I mean, I've almost used.
6:19
Matthew, I found out it makes two pies.
6:26
(spatula scrapes bowl)
6:31
(metal bowl placed on counter)
6:35
(metal bowl pushed forward)
6:39
- [Teresa] It could be it's missing the cool whip
6:40
that they messed up on me. - Wow!
6:43
- [Teresa] I said it could be the cool whip
6:46
that they messed up on me by changing the sizes.
6:52
So, this is gonna need to sit
6:54
in the refrigerator for
7:04
So I don't know if we'll be able to cut this today
7:07
and have me eat it, so.
7:15
Matthew, how good this is?
7:20
I'll eat a possum pie any day honey.
7:33
(Michael) This don’t taste like possum.
7:34
(Eddie) You never ask what you're getting ready to eat, do you Michael?
7:37
You just took a big bite of it before I even told you.
7:42
It's possum pie Poppa.
7:46
(Michael) I though it was pineapple.
7:53
(Michael)This don’t take like possum.
7:55
And the peacans are his toenails.
8:02
So how do you like it?
8:07
(Michael) It’s good. Mine has evaporated now.
8:12
(Eddie) Well, we've got another whole possum in the refrigerator.
8:17
yeah, we got a lot of possums today, so you're good.
8:23
This would make a wonderful like,
8:26
I thnik he said his grandmother always made it around the holidays, but
8:29
to me this would be good during a summer, you know, nice and cool.
8:35
(Michael) Can you freeze it?
8:39
(Michael) Be good frozen.
8:43
It would be good frozen.
8:49
With that and some ice cream.
8:52
(Michael) Possum ice cream.
8:57
Well, this has been so much fun doing this recipe and I had a ball with the name
9:07
so our possum Pappa liked it.
9:11
Are you ready for another piece?
9:19
(Michael) I don't know.
9:23
I love it when you share your recipes with me.
9:29
Love and best dishes.
9:31
Best Possum I Ever Ate.
