Gary and Danny enjoying the finished product!
Pie crust
2 cups unbleached flour
6 tablespoons butter, cut into cubes
6 tablespoons regular crisco, cut into cubes
5-6 tablespoons ice water
1/2 teaspoon of salt
Place flour, butter, shortening, and salt into food processor. Process on medium until crumbly. Add the ice water and process until mixture forms a ball. I love my very old but reliable food processor it makes a great crust every time!
Place dough into a sheet of wax paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Then flour your surface and your rolling pin and roll the dough out!
You all should be so blessed to have an amazing spatula like this ( my husband made this many many years ago) it makes lifting the pie dough into the dish a piece of cake!
Flute the crust. We had a hard time doing this because it was so hot! So it did not come out as pretty as it should have but I decided to go ahead and post it anyway. Cooking is always an adventure and although it wasn't pretty it still tasted good. Poke holes in bottom and sides of the dough and bake in a preheated 425degree oven for 15 minutes until golden brown. Cool
Now on to the filling!
4-5 cups fresh blueberries divided
6 cups fresh peaches
1/2 cup water
2/3 cup sugar
3 1/2 tablespoons corn starch
squeeze of fresh lemon
Take 2 heaping cups of fresh blueberries and place them in a medium sauce pan. Mash with the 1/2 cup of water
Mix together sugar and corn starch add to the mashed blueberries. Cook on medium heat until bubbly and thickened stirring with a whisk constantly, this will take several minutes. Continue cooking 1 minute longer. Remove from burner add a squeeze of fresh lemon. Cool.
When the glaze is still slightly warm, peel and cut up 6 cups of peaches. To that add 2 cups of fresh blueberries. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon, pour on the glaze and lightly toss. Refrigerate the fruit and glaze mixture.
Just before serving add the fruit and glaze to the baked pie shell. Serve with sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!!!
A very special thank you to Uncle Danny for his help with this blog!!!

Hurray, your first vegan recipe! Although I'll skip the whip and ice cream :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this recipe. It was incredible. Craig is a pie connoisseur. He said it was an 8.5 or 9. If he had yours, I'm sure it would be a 10. :)
