Peach and Blueberry Pie

What do you do when you have like 5 peaches that are very ripe? You make peach pie. But that would be too boring for me, so we threw some blueberries in the mix.

Christian and I love to make pies together [it's kinda one of our things], so it offers some quality time together, which is nice since we haven't had many days off together in the past couple of months. So, here is our very own recipe:

Blueberry Peach Pie

2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
5 peaches, peeled and sliced
1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp flour
1 tsp baking spice [or some cinnamon]
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 pie crusts

~ Preheat oven to 375°. Peel and slice peaches.
~ In a large bowl mix cornstarch, flour, baking spice, salt and both sugars together. Add peaches and blueberries and mix together to coat with the dry mixture [I do this with my hands].
~ Fit first pie crust into pie pan. Fill with pie mixture. Cut second crust into strips and weave the strips over the pie to create a lattice top.
~ Cover outer edges of crust with foil or pice crust shield, if you have one. Bake for 35 minutes, remove foil. Bake for about 10-15 additional minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Cool for a couple of hours before cutting.
~ Serve with vanilla ice cream and enjoy! Yum!
