In April I told you how much we love to having strawberry fields in the town where we live. Well, once strawberry season is over, we are just as lucky to have Springs Farm peaches picked fresh from the trees, right here in our town. Several roads in our town are lined with peach trees that yield beautiful pink blooms to look at each spring and juicy peaches to eat each summer. It’s one of my favorite things about this little town {that is turning big}.
So here is my first box of peaches this season. One of my favorite recipes to make with the peaches is Peach-a-Berry Pie. I found this recipe last summer over at Allrecipes.com.
The thing about this pie is that there are numerous combos you could use. The original recipe calls for raspberries but I’ve used blueberries, strawberries and mixed berries and all have turned out fantastic! You can make this in the winter with frozen peaches, but it’s not quite the same as a pie made with fresh SC peaches!
Start by washing, peeling and slicing 6-8 ripe peaches {about 4 cups}. Place peaches and 1 cup of berries in a colander to drain any excess juice for about 15 minutes. Again, any type of berry is fine. For raspberries or blackberries I do prefer to use frozen only because you are sure to get the perfect flavor. Not too sweet, not too sour.
Transfer fruit to a large bowl. And toss with 3/4 cup sugar, 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour and 1 tsp. cinnamon.
Line the pie pan with the bottom crust. {I do NOT make my own crust. I use Pillsbury Refrigerated Pie Crusts which you can find in the refrigerator case at the grocer. Hello, easy button!}
Transfer fruit mixture to pie crust and dot with 2 Tbsp softened, cut butter.
Lay the second crust on top. Seal the edges by folding under and use pinching technique to crimp the edge of the crust.
Cut slits in the top of the pie to allow the steam to escape.
Bake at 400* for about 45 minutes, just until edges are browned.
Serve warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream!
