    Can someone please tell me why my pie crust is crumbling when i try to pick it up? I bought the jiffy pie crust you mix yourself and i made it a few days ago and had no problem! now i am trying to make them tonight and when ever i try to pick it up it falls apart.t could it have anything to do with it being hot and humid in the house or maybe not enough water even tho i put the same amount in as before?

    Also, my boyfriend's godmother said we could try adding salt, because salt can sometimes counter the spices. But she's not sure. Whatcha think? Hi Yahoo answers, So I am going to my boyfriends' house for thanksgiving and wanted to impress them with my cranberry sauce, but it tastes WAY too much like cloves and I need to balance it out! This is the recipe I followed: (serves 6) 2 cups cranberries 2 tablespoons water 1 orange, chopped 1/2 cup honey 1/4 tsp cloves 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp ginger 1 tsp grated orange rind 1/2 cup walnuts Cook cranberries in water until berries start to pop (about 8 mins). Add apples and continue to cook 5 minutes or until apples are tender. Stir in spices and honey. Simmer for 3-5mins. Remove from heat and add orange rind and nuts. We did one batch that turned out wonderfully, then we did another second batch in which we quadrupeled the recipe. This second batch tastes so strongly of cloves, even though we only put in 1 tsp as the recipe read. Nooo! Please help me either balance it out with something else or tell me how I can fix it. We also added a final batch of cranberry sauce to this bad batch and it didn't even it out at all really. Please help! Thanks YahooAnswers for being there in my hour of need!

    Additional Details

    So my original plan was to make my entire pie today, and hope it stayed fresh for Thanksgiving. But from the response I got from my last question, I have decided to just make my pie filling today, and then finish putting the pie together tomorrow and baking it. do you think this is going to be ok? will my pie filling stay fresh? Sorry, I should have included that it was an Apple pie :-)
