I didn't use a recipe. Nothing wrong with using a recipe but after years of cooking, I think I can put together a simple pie without one. It's a lost art, I know but really pies are pretty easy. I peeled, and peeled, and peeled my peaches until I had a pie tin full, then I put them in a bowl, added a cup of sugar, a handful or so of the dried cherries, some cinnamon, a little less nutmeg, and a little flour. Readied the bottom crust and put it in the pan, poking holes in it here and there, put in the peaches/cherries, dabbed some butter on top and then put the top crust on.
I cooked it for 40 minutes and the crust was not real brown but since I tend to get it too brown usually, I thought this was good enough and took it out. Will let you know how good it is tonight after dinner (in the comments) but I imagine this is going to be pretty tasty.
They pie was a bit runny, a little more flour might have helped but it tasted absolutely wonderful. The peaches had such a nice light taste not at all strong like the ones you get from the store.
ReplyDeleteI like pies that are "Well done" - i.e. very brown. And the same with bread. I'm glad the peaches tasted good. Maybe they made all the effort of peeling worthwhile?
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely worth it but I am going to give some peaches away as I have to go out of town Sunday and I don't want them sitting here going to waste.
DeleteHi Becky, it looks pretty good to me. The crust is just a vessel, it's what's inside that matters to me. Sounds yuuuuumy!
ReplyDeleteI was wonderfully good and really the crust was good too.
