peach berry pie

so i wanted pie today, but didn't have enough of anything to make it all one kind of filling, so i made this up instead, and it turned out wonderfully! here's to an awesome summer treat! (note: i'm guessing on these measurements; i didn't think it measure when i was throwing it together)

4 fresh yellow peaches, skinned, pitted, and cut into chunks (i actually used canned peaches, but i rinsed the syrup off first)
1 1/2 c fresh strawberries, hulled, and cut into chunks
2/3 c fresh blueberries
3/4 c sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 plain pie crusts (my recipe is at the bottom if you need a good one)

mix fruits, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla together and spoon into pastry-lined 9-inch pie plate. cover w/ 2nd pastry and seal and flute edges; cover edges w/ foil to prevent burning. cut vents into top and bake at 350*f for 30-45 minutes. remove foil for last 10 minutes of baking. serve warm w/ vanilla ice cream.

plain pastry for 1-crust pie (double this for 2-crust pies)

1 c flour
2/3 c shortening
1/2 teaspoon salt
3-4 tablespoons cold water

combine all w/ pastry blender or fork. roll to 1/8 inch thick on floured surface.

here's the finished product in all it's flaky, fruity goodness:

  2. That sounds so good Evelyn! I happen to have the things needed to...so I'm off to the kitchen now. =) I agree with your friend about pictures. I try to put pictures on my food blog too and people say they try the ones with pics first vs the ones without.
