| Natural Eating for Health: Recipe of the Month Raw Banana Pie |  |
This delicious pie is from Ann Wigmore's Recipes For Longer Life.
| The Filling: | |||
 | 3 bananas (organic if possible, commercial bananas are probably not worth the effort of this pie) | | 2 cups Almond Meal (ground) |
| ½ - 1 cup spring water (maybe use some of the raisin/fig soak water) | | 1 teaspoon Cinnemon or Nutmeg (optional) |
| Blend almonds and bananas in roughly equal parts. Add enough water to attain a thick, pudding consistancy. Freeze until firm (1 - 2 hours).
|

| The Crust: | |||
| 1 cup Almonds, finely ground | | 1 cup Black Figs, soaked 1 hour |
| 1 cup Raisins, soaked 1 hour | | ½ teaspoon Ground Cloves (optional) |
| Soak figs and nuts together, 1 hour. (Don't go too much over the 1 hour limit as the fruit becomes much too moist.) With a fork, press, mash and mix together ingredients. Press into a pie tin. Add pie filling, decorate and serve.
For decoration I cut a banana into slices and insert then vertically around the pie between the filling and crust - with one slice in the center. Sometimes I visually divide the pie into sections by slivering a date and placing them around the pie. |
