Oh, yum!!! I'll be making a peach pie come July for a friend of mine whose favorite it is. As for where to get peaches, we lived in Vernon, CT in the 70's. The next town was Ellington where there was a U-pick peach orchard (in addition to apples and strawberries). So far I've never tasted better peaches. Made lots of freezer jam as well as peach snow (dessert made in a blender), pies, etc.!!! Regarding piecrust, I'll admit I belong to the "made with shortening" crowd. Have tried making crust with butter with little success; may have to try again! Thanks, P.J., for yet another great blog.........and we'll be making our annual pilgrimage to King Arthur this summer on our way to Fryeburg!! Sue, I grew up in Glastonbury, CT in the '60s - I wonder if your peaches in Ellington were Hale peaches, too? Hey, stop by and say Hi this summer on the way to Fryeburg. Now, talk about pie - I've had some GOOD pie at the Fryeburg Fair, that's for sure! -PJH
