Peach Blackberry Pie​

Sheila Lukins, Dash (Parade Magazine)

When you brush the bottom pie crust with an egg wash, you keep the fruit from making the pie soggy as it bakes. By sprinkling the top crust with sugar, it makes for a great sugary crust.

Ingredients

Pie Crust for a 9-inch double-crust pie
5 cups peeled and sliced ripe peaches
¼ cup fresh blackberries
3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
Pinch of salt
2 Tbsp ground crystallized ginger (a food processor or spice grinder may be used to grind the ginger)
5 Tbsp all-purpose flour
¼ cup packed light-brown sugar
1 egg white
2 tsp water
2 Tbsp granulated sugar

Directions

Prepare the pie dough, rolling out the bottom crust to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Roll out the top crust and place it on a plate. Wrap both crusts and chill until ready to use.

Combine the peaches, blackberries, lemon juice, and salt; set aside. Combine the ginger, flour, and brown sugar; toss with the fruits. Let rest for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 350 °F.

Combine the egg white and water in a small bowl. Remove the pie crusts from the refrigerator. Brush some of the egg-white mixture over the bottom and sides of the bottom pie crust to prevent sogginess. Add the fruit filling, mounding the peaches in the center.

Cover the filling with the top crust. Trim the overhang to 1 inch. With water, moisten the edges of the crusts where they meet, then press together lightly and turn under. Crimp the edges decoratively. Cut 6 decorative steam slits in the top crust. Brush the top crust lightly all over with the remaining egg-white mixture. Sprinkle lightly with the granulated sugar.

Place the pie on the center rack of the oven and bake until it is golden and the juices are bubbling, about 60 to 70 minutes. Let the pie cool on a rack before serving just slightly warm or at room temperature.

Wife & I are baking 5 kinds of cookies today. Maybe I should take some out in the woods tomorrow to convince the deer I'm an OK guy...🤣.

Just 3 types here, but one batch is chocolate-dipped, homemade, hazelnut biscottis.

Top pic are "candy bar cookies". The absolute best! Mini Snickers wrapped with a peanut butter dough and drizzled with chocolate drizzle. Second pic are Hershey's kisses and peanut butter cup cookies (same dough, different candy). We also made snicker doodles, almond crescents and refrigerator cookies. I personally don't care for the almond crescents. Refrigerator cookies are a nutty sugar cookie, addictive, and often are eaten in massive quantities.

Into the brine for a 24 hr soak, and getting a good long simmer on the beans and ham so they’re ready to heat and eat tomorrow.

Just pulled a standing rib roast out of the fridge to rub so it's ready for the oven later. I'll let y'all know later.
