Peach Pie

Many hands make pie!  We just made our first summer fruit pie.  Yum, yum!!!!!!  We had to wait a few days since we first had the idea to let the fruit ripen.  Then we mixed it up a little.  Emily cut up the fruit and Eli made the crust.

Emily has been in charge of the crust since she was about five but for this pie she wanted to try something new.  That is really a nice way of saying she refused to do it in that way that only thirteen year olds can do.  Or at least I'm hoping that that style is unique to thirteen.

So, Eli jumped right in in his true ninja style.  Faster than a ninja he rolled out that crust then slowed down a bit to get it just right.  We added a few bleberries to it.  No sugar.  We've gotten used to making fruit pies sans the sugar.  Usually that works with fruit and is fine with whipped cream or ice cream.  I think this pie could have used a spot of some kind of sweetner.  We brought to Grandma and Grandpa's house and they would have preferred it a bit sweeter. 

The thing about not too much sugar is then you can feel okay when you say, "Pie for breakfast!"
