Kristen O'Dea experimented to perfect her Mixed Berry Pops for Saturday's Homemade from Scratch Pie Contest.
It took "a lot of trial and error," but Farmington Hills resident Kristen O'Dea finally came up with a winner. Her Mixed Berry Pops – small berry-filled pies on a stick – took top honors in Saturday's Homemade from Scratch Pie Contest at the Old Winery Farmers Market.
