WOW! I did not know there was a National Day set aside just for Peach Pie. Celebrating that one for sure!

Ever since I learned how to make a decent pie crust I have really fallen in love with pie baking! Peach pie is one of my favorites.

A few years ago I toured one of my friends’s peach orchards. She is a 4th generation peach farmer in California.
We picked peaches off the tree and that night I made a pie. It was HEAVENLY to say the least. I didn’t add ice cream or shipped topping. Just mouthful of tree sweetened peaches baked between a flaky crust.

Oh My..There is ALWAYS time for Pie!

Being able to pick fruit that has been allowed to ripen on the tree is so much better than buying it green and having it ripen on the counter in your kitchen. The sugar content is a whole new ball game when you buy fruit directly from a farmer or at a farmer’s market.

When you are making pies or jam, don’t worry it there are a few blemishes. My daughter-in-law and I just bought a box of peaches that were considered 2nds but was exactly what we needed for making jam and cost half of full price. Now I wish we had picked up two boxes so we could have made a few pies!

This is what my great grandfather used to say about homemade pies.

There are only two kinds of pie I like. Warm or cold. :~D

Quick Tip:At first I was a bit nervous about making the lattice crust but then I read that making the lattice crust helped the moisture from the fruit evaporate and helped the crust to not get soggy.

Celebrate the warm days of summer. Sit in the shade and savor a real fruit treat.

 

Some of my favorite memories with are kids involve being together on long summer days. School was out, and being able to sleep in a bit, stay up late enough to watch the stars overhead in hope of wishing on one as it sped across the sky, disappearing before you could even point it out to the person sitting next to you.

We loved our big lawn. Sometimes the neighbor kids would join in a game of football or hide and seek. It was a lot of mowing, but even the smell of freshly mowed grass was savory. And then there was the sprinkler.

The one that sprayed tiny streams into the air, looking more like a curtain than actual water drips. The basic sprinkler would move on simple gears to the setting we had put it on. But, in our minds, it was always trying to tag us with its watery fingers. There were the times where the kids would squeal with delight as they ran and jumped to the other side.

Bathing suits dripping wet, they would sit outside while I ran in to pull popsicles out of the freezer.

While we used to just get the basic juice popsicles, I love that these are made with real fruit.

This is what Martyna of The Wholesome Cook says about her recipe.

Healthier than their ice cream counterparts they are low in fat and have no added sugar. To spice them up a little, I have added some coconut milk and ground cinnamon.

Quick Tip: If you have a few bananas feel free to add those to your popsicle mix instead of coconut milk.
