Late Season Peach Pie

5 years ago

OK, it's not nearly as pretty as AnnT's apple dumplings, but I had just a few of those late season peaches left, and so I made pie. Amanda and Dave were here with The Princess and Her Brother, and she wanted peach pie. With frosting. I told her that pies were not usually frosted, but that was not persuasiave. Go crazy, Grandma. Think outside of the box, let your creativity break through. Just because no one ELSE frosts pie, doesn't mean you can't. Yada, yada. So, we frosted the pie.....

The Princess thought it needed some whipped cream, and so she added some to hers. Her Brother had ice cream, and Mother will be here on Tuesday, so she can have what is left.

It went well with pork loin, baked winter squash, potatoes with onions and some biscuits, a nicely "fall type" dinner.

The modern take on bottom soil as far as I can tell is that it often leads to excessive vigor. Comes down to the old balancing act of fruit production- too much vigor, and you get poorly colored and flavored fruit- too little and the trees are short-lived and production poor with small fruit. Guess you could call it the Goldylocks syndrome. In the west, you can get a handle on it just by controlling water, but after 20 years of growing fruit in the east I am still struggeling to come up with the right balance. I came to fruit trees through vegetables, so I went for too much vigor for the first 10 years. First, too much compost than too much mulch! Dwarfing rootstock certainly seems to simplify this dance with apples. M 26 is harder to excessively juice in my experience than more vigorous ones. Soil texture is as important as soil depth, of course. As I've said before on this forum, I actually prefer a sandy soil- you can usually add water in a home orchard if it's needed, but you can't easily reduce it.

Peaches too juicy for pie?
Q
Comments (10)
A restaurant here in California, Marie Calendars has a delicious fresh peach pie. They have killer pie crust, of course, bake it, and pile it high with fresh cut peaches tossed in some kind of peachy clear glaze. Then comes the whipped cream. It's delish!! We have a peach tree, but ours got brown rot this year. It's a cling peach, so not fun to slice, but what we tasted was good. I had the pie crusts all made, but we didn't get around to the spray program. We summer pruned, so hopefully, next year. I make my crusts with sourdough starter, and they are so tender and flaky, they melt in your mouth. Our apple tree produces so many apples, I have enough frozen pie filling to last till next harvest.

except for the pie ... that menu was very similar to the weekend fare here as well ... but I made some potato salad too(for the week ahead) ... acorn squash is good this year .... I halve them, take out the seeds and fill the cavity with a bit of butter, sugar substitute (or brown sugar) and cinnamon, and bake or crock pot ...

Looks great, frosting and all. The frosting reminds me of those little hand pies they used to have, way back when. I saw some peaches at the farmer's market yesterday and was so tempted.

Mmmmmmmm! Frosted pie *and* whipped cream *and* ice cream all together sounds awesome to me (I'd do my best to eat that and then call for help to get up, lolam!).

I do adore peach pie, and yes, I'd have had a couple pieces with frosting! I love that she encouraged you to do something different! I've a strong feeling your frosted peach pie would be a real winner here in TN - I know I'd love it! And I'd have to have some ice cream with it as well ; ) Looks fantastic Annie and I'm envious!

Thanks, everyone!

Bragu, that's how my kids like winter squash, baked with brown sugar and butter. I've learned to bake it, mash it and eat it with just salt and pepper, but the butter and brown sugar is definitely better. I grew about a ton of Hokkaido blue squash this year, it went crazy, so I'm thinking my next pie might have to be "pumpkin", kind of.

sooz, you and me both. It's about time for a piece of pie except that I've promised myself I'd hold out for Thanksgiving. (grin)

2many, start driving. The last piece is in the refrigerator, waiting for my Mother to eat it tomorrow, but I bet she'd share...

I edited this to add: Elery wasn't even tempted. He says he likes his peach pie FRIED! Yup, fried pies, that's his favorite.
