There are dozens of Amish and Menonite owned businesses in Shipshewana, Indiana, including a place to buy spices and other Amish food products in bulk. Unfortunately, we arrived on a Sunday and virtually everything was closed.
The Clear Spring was the only restaurant open, and fortunately, they had some outstanding pies. It is
located in the Amish Country Inn. This hotel includes a popular indoor water park.Linda was our waitress and told us a little about the pies. The first pie we tasted was a beautiful peanut butter pie, with a wonderful flaky crust, topped first with peanut butter filling and then a homemade custard. Wow!
The old fashioned sugar cream pie happens to be the favorite of the owner. It is rich and much creamier than traditional custard, with a wonderfully flaky crust. Click here for a recipe.
