Ele! Peach season came early this summer in Ontario with all of the warm weather, thinking of you. Funny, we own Food That Shmecks but never saw this recipe; excited to try it out with the blueberry twist! xo

Hi Vicki, I’m so glad you liked this recipe, and my site! Do let me know how you get on with your guests- I don’t entertain/cook for guests very often so I’m always interested in those who do!

Hi Ele,
I am a friend of one of Halyna’s neighbours in Ottawa. My friend was at Halyna’s and John’s for dinner the night that she made this wonderful pie and just had to have the recipe. We visited a couple of weeks later and my friend, Barbara, made it and I loved it!!! Of course I had to know where she got the recipe. I have looked at a few more of your recipes and you have inspired me. We are having vegetarian friends for the weekend and as ‘meat eaters’ it is always a challenge to come up with something. I now have a reliable ‘go-to’ site. Thank you! I will let you know how I get on. Vicki

Amanda, you should try this! It made a convert of me, so much so that I’m even considering trying a fruit galette or similar next week! (*shock*) If you’re very wary about the mushy, softened fruit, just leave out the blueberries- that was the original recipe, after all. The peach halves on their own stay nice and semi-firm.

[...] London saw some lovely weather earlier in the month, and I took the opportunity to host a picnic to end all picnics. Taking advantage of the warmer temperatures, I also made a green bean salad, a strawberry-laden cake, and tried my hand at my mum’s famous Peach and Blueberry Pie. [...]

beautiful photos!!

I feel the same way about cooked fruit desserts! I don’t love them!

But this looks beautiful – and if it tastes as beautiful as it looks – I’m willing to give her a try! I’m going to wait till it dips below the 90s here first… :)

Halyna- Glad you all liked it, and thanks for the compliment! I really recommend the book this recipe is from (Food that Really Schmecks), it’s full of Canadian classics like this one!
