Beth, my spouse of over 50 years is threatening to make Black Tango Pie once again and I can’t wait. It’s a great addition to your spring menu, along with rhubarb pie, which will be front and centre before too long. I love this pie icy cold with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream, the one with the vanilla beans in it. You are going to love it!
