You want to keep the additional flavor very subtle. Too strong really doesn't work. I've had spiced peaches and nectarines where habs have been added. They were quite good. I would think that this would probably work in pies too. What I would probably do is cut the sugar way down so you don't have a super sweet pie. Much closer to just the natural flavor and then add the hot stuff. Scott Peterson -- Pardon my driving, I'm reloading.
