I baked a peach pie with the last of the
Texas hill country peaches from last year's crop
using JOY OF COOKING recipe found here.
Then I put it into my
MacKenzie-Childs ceramic pie dish
for a pretty presentation.
Peach pie is a
favorite summer treat.
Especially when it's served
with a scoop of Haagen-Dazs vanilla.
I also made a few individual pies.
I put them into crystal martini stems.
With the golden ball base,
these too were a pretty presentation.

Blogging has taught me to
"think out of the box"
when it comes to using dishware.
Pull out you crystal stems,
and use them in unexpected ways.
June is the beginning of the peach
season for Texas Hill Country peaches.
Unfortunately the hill country
had a hard freeze in March of this year.
These beautiful, ripe
peaches were last year's crop.
All of these photos were taken
at the Marburger Orchard last year.
Sadly, this year the hill country orchards
have less than 5% of their usual
crop because of the weather.
We usually buy our peaches from
Marburger Orchard in Fredricksburg, TX.
It offers "pick your own",
though we always buy from the stand.
They also have strawberries,
blackberries, tomatoes, and other seasonal vegetables.
Our favorite
peaches are Redglobe.
Redglobes are large and round
with a blushed red over a golden color.
I know most think of Georgia,
the Peach State, when one thinks of peaches.
Here in Texas, we think of the hill country!
