I went to the market yesterday and the peaches, blueberries, and blackberries were in abundance and ridiculously cheap. So, of course, I bought way too many. Upon arriving home, I had already decided upon making a pie.

Before you begin preparing a pie filling, whip up the pie dough crust and throw it in the refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes. I use this recipe and swear by it's ease.

This recipe calls for peeled peaches and unless you get the perfectly ripe peach, I always think peeling is a pain.

As a trick, boil water in a large pot and throw the peaches in for 30-60 seconds depending on ripeness. Take them out and transfer immediately to a bowl full of ice (stops the cooking). After about 2 minutes, take them out of the ice water and peel them with ease.
