Delicious Peach Pie…
September 2, 2009 | Filed Under Photos, Recipe
It’s peach season here in New York!
I have been looking forward to this time of year since… forever! At least it feels like it, anyway. I remember sitting on the porch swing of our house in my teeny-tiny home town, eating sweet, ripe peaches. My friends and I would peel off the skin and eat the peach naked. Because really, who enjoys eating the fuzzy peach skin. Ick.
I haven’t had the chance to pick or eat fresh peaches since I have had my own family. And while this year we couldn’t actually pick the peaches… we sure are eating them! Some family friends brought back a bushel for me and the kids! Whoo-hoo! We have been eating them hand over fist these last few days. Yum!
I don’t know if there is a fruit that tastes more drastically different store-bought to fresh, than a peach. At least in my “never been to Hawaii and eaten a fresh pineapple” opinion. Please do feel free to correct me should I be wrong.
I am planning on making a peach pie this week because thankfully, after the canning/freezing session, I still have plenty left over.
I made this peach pie last year and it was good. But, I have a feeling that this year… it’s going to knock my ever lovin’ socks off! I sure wish I could send a piece to Daniel. I did freeze a bunch of sliced up peaches so I can still make him a pie. What a nice thought that is!
As a side note, as long as you use a butter pie crust recipe (you have to scroll down to near the bottom of the post), the peach pie recipe is egg-free. Hooray!
Long live the peach!

JEALOUS!!! I absolutely love fresh home grown peaches. You are so lucky to live in a place where they can grow. I live in the hot, hot desert where we can’t grow a single thing besides pomegranates.
Gillian´s last blog ..UGH!
first of all, could you send ME a slice of that pie?! yum!
secondly, i must say that fresh pineapple in Hawaii really doesn’t compare to mainland pineapple; i didn’t know what i was missing until I was there two years ago. i didn’t realize that pineapple could taste so good!
that being said, i couldn’t agree more about fresh peaches! maybe it has something to do with the juicier fruits? somehow they loose that in the store?

Mmm. Peaches are definitely sooo much better picked off a tree. However, I think homegrown tomatoes (technically a fruit, right?) take the prize in my book for best improvement in taste from the store to the garden. I don’t know what they do to the ones in the store to drain them of their flavor!

I laughed at your peach skin statement because I DO like to eat the fuzzy peach skin! :~) And I totally agree that the peach is the best fruit to eat grown locally and the worst from a store. Although pineapple would be second. I have eaten it fresh in the Philippines and it was delicious!

fresh pineapple is amazing, amazing… but I’m going to stop talking about it, because there’s pretty much no way I’m getting fresh pineapple anytime soon. Fresh peaches are amazing too… and peach pie? yum! how about I cook dinner & you bring desert (we’re only a few hours away)
