My daughter’s friend Kalem came to visit from New Zealand and Caitlin and I made a pie to welcome him.

I combined peach and blackberry for the filling. Sweet peaches are enlivened with berries along with Meyers lemon juice and fresh grated nutmeg and mace. I also like to substitute half of the sugar with dark brown sugar in peach pies and I always use tapioca rather than flour in all my fruit fillings. These little details add big flavor.

Oh, how delightful are the late summer flavors of fruit from the beautiful Willamette Valley.
