Peach Pie

posted on: Wednesday, July 28, 2010


You know the recipe is good
when you have a note to the dad
"did you change his diaper"
on the same sheet of paper as the recipe.


Our friends, the Adairs, are a kick. They live in Texas but come to live in Santa Cruz in the summer for fun. They're always up for an impromptu dinner party. They're great. This week they leave back to Texas. Has summer really gone by this fast?

On Sunday Jen made a peach pie that blew me out of the water. She doesn't do cooked fruits so this was fresh from the Farmer's Market, juicy, cold peaches served with a delicious sauce over a crispy pie crust.

So far this has been the best thing I've had all summer.




Peach Pie
pie crust
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1tsp salt
  • 1 cup butter shortening
  • 1/3 cup ice water
sauce
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 orange juice
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup limeade
peaches
  • 10 ripe freestone peaches
Pie Crust-
  1. Mix the flour and salt together in a large bowl
  2. cut in the butter shortening
  3. Add water slowly by pouring it over your knuckles so that the dough gets evenly wet. Pour a little, then mix, then pour more and mix. Repeat until it forms a ball
  4. Refrigerate for a couple of hours.
  5. Roll it out and bake at 450* for 8-10 minutes. (Makes 2 pie crusts. For this recipe you will only need one. Pie crusts can be frozen for up to a month)
Sauce-
  1. Stir all of the ingredients in a sauce pan until it is medium thick and clear.
  2. Chill in the refrigerator.
Assembling the peaches-
  1. Wash and remove the skins from the peaches.
  2. Cut in thick slices.
  3. Pour 1/2 of the sauce on top of the pie crust.
  4. Gently put all of the slices of peaches on top of the sauce
  5. Pour the remaining sauce on top and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Next time you're in Texas go say hi to Jen and Sam for me
and thank her for the recipe.

  10. This pie looks DELICIOUS. I have a bunch of peaches, I may need to make this! Thanks for the recipe.

    And thanks for visiting my blog! As for the Toms, I found at different stores they had different prices. Some were outrageously expensive, but others were pretty cheap! Plus where I live I haven't seen anyone wearing them, so they're pretty unique here. :) But I do agree that they are very trendy.

  11. Looks fabulous. Your photos are making my mouth water.
    And that Bargain Barn sounds fascinating. We have similar things like that in Aussie op shops but more as a sale when things have to be moved on.
