  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

  • 2 tablespoons of ice water

  • 1 cup blueberries

To make the filling, place the blueberries,peaches, zest and juice of lemon, honey and cornstarch into one large bowl and mix together well. Let sit for 20 to 30 minutes.

To make the dough for the pie, in a large bowl mix together the flour and the powdered sugar and salt. Add the cold butter and mix with a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add the water, one tablespoon at a time and mix until the dough comes together in a ball.

When ready to bake the pie, preheat the oven to 350F and position a rack in the middle.

Divide the pie into two balls, one slightly larger than the other.

Roll the larger ball to 1/8-inch thickness on a floured work surface. Place in your pie plate and trim the excess all around the pan.

Add the fruit mixture and spread out evenly on the bottom and pressing them down slightly.

9

Roll the second ball of dough to also 1/8-inch thick and cut 1/4-inch strips from it. Layer them on top of the pie.

    I found these instructions somewhat confusing. Your first step says “Place all these ingredients into one large bowl and mix together well. Let sit for 20 to 30 minutes.” Maybe the first step should say “Place all of the filling ingredients into one large bowt….etc.”? Just a thought. Looking forward to trying out this recipe.
