It's not actually flour, it is almonds put in a blender to
create a fine meal. If you can't find almond meal grind your
own almonds in a blender or food processor to a consistency
you prefer. Just mix it with melted butter like you were
making a cheesecake crust and press into a pan then chill to
harden it.

You can set the fruit in jello for a nice pie. Get a nice
sugar free jello of a flavour you like and add fruit to the
mix after the hot water has been added. Then when its a bit
cool pour it into the chilled crust and let it set in the
fridge, add whipped cream or canned cool whip type cream
before serving. Low fat plain yoghurt can be mixed through
the jello as well as the fruit.

From Kroger (I think, if not, then, Publix) Bob's Red Mill Almond
Meal/Flour, in their health food section, where their organic milk is.

I havent heard of almond flour, but I have to say I am salivating at the
thought of it.  Just call me pavlovs dog. lol

I have never use dalmond flour, but I understand you can make it yourself
form very finely grinding almonds untl they have a flour -like
consistancy.

I do have anothoer suggestions regarding nuts and your cheery pie.  grind
up some walnuts or almonds or a mixture , or hazelnuts, in teh food
processorto pretty fine, bu tno flour.  Mix then with some Splenda and
press the misture into the pie pan  until it is fairly firm and covers the
bottom and sides.  Bake in a 375F oven for 10-15 mins then put in your pie
filling and bake or whatver you do thwith the canned filing.  I make my
cherry pie with wter-packed sour cherries adn cook them with a littl
cornstarch(very little) and splenda with some cinnamon and fill the pie
crust and bake it until all bubbly and it is thickening nicely.  I thik it
tastes better than the ready-made stuff, but that is a personal matter.  

I make this once a year instead of a birthday cke fo rme, as I was born on
the day after George Washington's real birthday (FEb. 22, current
calendar)  so I have adopted this.

Hi John,
   I buy almond flour at Smith's, a grocery store chain that I believe is
owned by Kroger.  In the midwest it is not called Smith's but goes by
Dillon's.  Why?  I don't know.  And a believe in Arizona, there is yet
another name for these stores.  My point, is that the store may be called
something else where you live, but they all sell Kroger as their "house"
brand.  The almond flour is not a house brand; it's Red Mill.
   Hope you can find it!

It's available in health food stores in my area -- and it is very expensive.
I have never used it, but I suspect that it might not react exactly like
"regular" flour for baking.

Hi John, I live in Florida too. You can buy it at Publix or Sweet Bay in
their health food section, also can find it at Michael's Whole Foods and the
Good Earth health food stores. Little hint for using it to make pie crust,
it's very crumbly! Mix about a teaspoon of xanthan gum, a powdery substance
for thickening found at health food stores. I make a cookie base with the
almond flour and xanthan gum that holds together pretty well. Use about a
teaspoon of the xanthan gum powder to a cup of almond flour. You can also
buy these items on netrition.com. They only charge a low flat rate for
shipping.
