FRESH PEACH AND RHUBARB PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• FOR THE CRUST: In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine the flour and salt. Process briefly to blend. Add the butter and shortening and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal, 5-10 seconds. With the motor running, gradually add the egg yolk, lemon juice, and just enough of the ice water for the dough to come together and hold a shape when pressed. Remove the dough from the processor, divide into 2 pieces, one slightly larger than the other, and flatten into 2 thick disks. Wrap the disks in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. FOR THE FILLING: In a large bowl, combine the rhubarb, peaches, lemon juice, sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and flour and toss until mixed. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the larger of the 2 disks into a round about 11 inches in diameter. Gently ease the pastry round into a deep 9-inch pie plate and press into the plate, crimping the edges about 1/2 inch above the level of the plate rim. Brush the pie crust with the egg-water mixture. Spoon the filling into the dish. On the lightly floured work surface, roll out the remaining disk into a round about 10 inches in diameter. Using another pie plate as a guide, cut out a 9-inch round from the dough. Cut the round into strips 1 inch wide. Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F. Brush the edge of the bottom crust with a little more of the egg-water mixture. Lay a row of dough strips 3/4 inch apart across the top of the pie. Press the ends firmly to the edge of the crust. Lay the remaining strips in the opposite direction, again pressing them firmly to the edge. Flute the edge decoratively. Brush the pastry edge and strips with the egg-water mixture. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F. and continue baking until golden brown and bubbling, 35-45 minutes. (Check the pie during baking and cover the edges with aluminum foil if the crust begins to overbrown.) TO SERVE: Transfer to a rack and let cool for at least 20 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

PEACH-BERRY RHUBARB SLAB PIE

Steps:

• Prepare the crust. In a medium bowl, stir together flour and salt until well combined. Add 1/3 cup butter and the shortening, then cut in with a pastry blender until flour appears crumbly and no crumbs are larger than pea size. Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, tossing thoroughly with fork after each addition until dough sticks together. Dough should be only slightly moist and should still retain a crumbly appearance until pressed together between fingers. Place mixture into an ungreased 9 x 13 inch glass baking dish and flatten to bottom, pressing dough halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and brush over crust using a pastry brush. Immediately sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and set aside.
• Make the filling. Peel and slice two of the peaches and place into a medium bowl. Add strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and rhubarb. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon flour and 2 tablespoons sugar, then pour over fruit and toss until fruit is evenly coated. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium sauce pan, add remaining peaches (peeled and sliced), cinnamon, butter, corn syrup, honey, lemon jice, orange juice, and sugar. Begin cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly until juices form. Mix corn starch with 1 teaspoon of water and gradually pour into mixture while stirring constantly. Allow mixture to come to a boil. Continue to boil, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens. Once thickened, stir constantly until the liquid portion of the filling sticks to the spoon when removed from the pan. It should almost have the appearance of cooled pie filling. Remove from heat and add remaining fruit, stirring juices into flour mixture before adding to the filling. Lightly stir to combine and set aside.
• Place empty pie crust in the oven on the middle rack and bake until the butter is melted and the cinnamon and sugar appear to have absorbed into the crust.
• In the meantime, prepare the streusel. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients and stir together until crumbly and all dry ingredients appear a bit moist. Set aside.
• Remove crust from the oven and top evenly with pie filling. Cover with the streusel, paying special attention to the sides as the filling tends to bubble up over the topping along the edges. Bake on center rack for approximately 45 minutes, or until crust appears golden and streusel is crunchy. Remove from oven and cool, then slice into 12 pieces.
