Several customers would come in just to purchase a whole pie. Beside Annie’s pies, her rolls, and krepleke (Polish Doughnuts) were legendary. She never used a recipe, but would dump flour in a bowl and go from there. She also loved to harvest the wild berries of the season with Marie Kobielusz and Annie Wantoluk and make jams and jellies.
