Summer Solstice Pie

Summer Solstice Pie I love to make this pie for Summer Solstice because the nectarines remind me the sun and the blackberries of the longer nights that will now be returning. Besides that it just tastes really good.

Ingredients:

  • A pie shell

Ingredients for the nectarine layer:

  • 3 cups of nectarines or peaches (peeled and sliced)
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 Tbsp butter or margarine

Ingredients for the nectarine layer

  • 4 cups of blackberries or blueberries (I use 2 cups of each)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • A dash of cinnamon
  • 1 Tbsp butter or margarine

Instructions:

  1. Bake pie crust at 350ºF for about 15 to minutes. Let cool on rack.
  2. Mash the peaches with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch and pour into a saucepan. Cook on medium for 5 minutes until it thickens.
  3. Mash 2 cups of the berries with the sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Cook in saucepan over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Add in the butter with the rest of the whole berries and stir. Cool and pour it over top of the peach layer.
  4. Chill and serve.
