Pies

It’s a miracle – tis the season of pies. The fruit says Now. So we get to be pie gluttons for a couple of days.

The cling peaches that I got from the Boalsburg Farmers Market (Way Fruit Farm) were ready – as in they were no longer clingie… but still tasty. A Peach Glaze pie was in order.

The blueberries that I got from our CSA/Groundworks Farm were also begging not to be forgotten. Having only 1 quart I had thought to make a blueberry pie. It has been eons since I made one, as it seems the cultivated blueberries are no match in taste against the wild mountain berries. But being lazy in old age, I’m not about to go try to find the wild ones, much less pick them. Being in the pie makin’ mood, blueberry is the other one for our pie orgy.
