Chef Extraordinaire
I was born and lived in Minneapolis until I was10. But most of the large Erickson family still lives there. Thus, my joke, but not joke, about Myrtle in another post.Aw man as a Minnesotian who adores peaches, I can't tell you how hard it is to find good peaches come late August, early September. Some years they're really good, and some years I gotta turn them into peach jam. I love peach cobbler and after a bunch of trial and error, can make a cobbler that my dad says is as good as his grandma's and takes him back. Unfortunately I couldn't make it last year for him as a birthday present (his birthday is in September) so I just gave him some peach jam and some cherry jam I canned instead as EVERY SINGLE PEACH I found that year was mealy and gross. It was sad. On a better note, he loved the jam for breakfast.
Im sure I got my first taste of a good peach when I was little then.
If you have good peaches to use up, make this pie. It is super easy and also delicious -- and company-worthy.
Peaches and Cream Pie Recipe
This recipe is inspired by the fruit and cream pies at Briermere Farms, in Riverhead, N.Y., a fruit farm and bakery on the North Fork of Long Island Here, a press-in graham cracker crust is swapped in for the traditional pastry crust, but otherwise the recipe stays true to the signature pie...
