I picked up a bunch of peaches last week to make a pie to bring to dinner at a neighbors' house and it was such a hit, and been so long since I'd last made one, that I had to make a second pie just to hoard to ourselves. I doubt the pie will last more than a few days here with three pie lovers hovering over it....
It seemed fitting to offer peach pies as the August special, but with only a few weeks left in the month, I figured it'd be wise to roll it out for 2 months. Besides, it'd be a shame not to take an advantage of the peak season and this ought to give all the peach lovers plenty of time to order one... or two. So without further ado....
This stone fruit beauty packs a whopping three pounds of peaches, lightly sweetened and thickened, wrapped in my all butter crust. You won't find any thick gelatinous peach goo or so much sugar you can't taste the fruit; instead you'll find a tender, buttery crust and a well balanced sweetness that enhances the fresh, perfectly ripe peaches. Looking at this picture makes me drool -- I swear this is the epitome of homemade goodness.
Now, if you're looking to jazz up a peach pie even more, for just a few extra dollars consider adding some blackberries or blueberries to your pie. They make for a wonderful color and flavor contrast that is so inherently summer it's hard to pass up.
10" fresh peach pie $25
Additional berries +$3
I hope you'll consider ordering a peach pie, it's worth every penny and I don't think any summer is complete without at least one.
And if pie isn't your thing, feel free to peruse my menu for something else to sweeten your day.
