Summer Pie Recipes
Fresh fruit and berries abound! You want pies that take advantage of this bounty and let the wonderful tastes of summer come through.
Blueberry-Cranberry
Pie:
just the thing to bring the Blue and Red together on the 4th of July!
Here are my favorite pies for summer:
Strawberry Pie
Nothing is better than the sweet juiciness of a fresh strawberry. This pie uses both fresh and cooked berries and is delicious.
Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
When I can get both fresh strawberries and fresh rhubarb from my local farm stand, nothing can stop me from making a yummy Strawberry Rhubarb Pie!
Strawberry Blueberry Pie
Catch the end of the strawberries and the beginning of the blueberries and make this colorful pie for July 4th!
Blueberry Pie
One of the easiest (nothing to chop or peel) and best of summer.
Blueberry Blueberry Pie
This pie copies the Strawberry Pie recipe, using both cooked and fresh berries. A summer delight.
Blueberry Rhubarb Pie
A delicious combination, with the tart rhubarb somehow bringing out the flavor of the blue berries.
Blueberry Cranberry Pie
Okay, I know the cranberries aren't yet in season, but the blueberries are, and frozen cranberries can make this possible for a nice change in summer.
Blueberry Peach Pie
This is one of my favorite combinations, most delicious in the summer toward the end of blueberry season and the beginning of peach. Yum!
Cherry Pie
Pitting cherries takes a bit of time but is worth the effort!
Cherry Clafouti
Although it's not really a pie, it's close enough, and made with fresh cherries is both traditional and delicious.
Peach Pie
Nothing can beat a fresh baked Peach Pie, just a simple pie that focuses totally on the fruit.
Peach Strawberry Pie
You might find some late strawberries and make this gem. The strawberries add a tanginess that complements the peaches.
Raspberry Pie
Fresh local raspberries mean that it's time to bake this delicious pie, again using a combination of fresh and cooked fruit.
Bumbleberry Pie
Take advantage of the range of berries available and make this ever-changing treat, with blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and/or huckleberries.
Mango Pie
We don't get fresh mangos too often, but they sure make a good and unusual pie!
