Yay for Summer, it’s peach pie time! This is my Mom’s old recipe and if you want to make some one in your life super happy \u2013 maybe even so<\/em> happy they cry \u2013 then give this a try!<\/p>\n

My Stepdad, Joe, would hover around the kitchen while this pie was baking and then pace around the house restless, waiting for it to set. Many a time it was served hot and messy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream over top because he just couldn’t wait. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

My husband Ramin, does the same thing. I’m telling you this is a blue ribbon peach pie recipe! And yes, I’ll explain the “blossom” part (the SECRET ingredient) down below…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

So what makes it so much better than the rest? A few things… <\/p>\n

The peach is important. If your peaches are mealy and bland then your pie will be as well. I know, so obvious, but it needs to be repeated because there is a bit of effort to prepping peaches and it’s not worth the trouble if the main ingredient isn’t ripe, firm, and sweet-tart. <\/p>\n

So bite into one before you blanch and peel and make sure it’s delicious! Or taste test at the farmer’s market before buying \u2013 that’s my favorite thing to do!<\/p>\n

I always use a yellow variety because the white ones have sweetness overload with not enough acidity and tend to be a little softer. I love those white varieties too, especially for eating fresh, but not for pie.<\/p>\n

I make this recipe with quick cooking tapioca but you can also just scratch the cream and tapioca part of this and mix the peaches with 3 tablespoons of cornstarch if you’re in a bind. Sometimes quick cooking tapioca is hard to find in the markets. Do not use regular tapioca \u2013 it takes waaaay<\/em> to long to cook for this recipe. I do prefer quick cooking tapioca over cornstarch for this if you have a choice, the tapioca gives a little creaminess (along with the actual cream) which I love with peaches.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

What is the blossom part of this? Orange blossom water! The combination of orange blossom and peach is truly magical. I am a purest when it comes to pie, I don’t often do mixed fruits. I never put raisins in my apple pies. I like blueberry as just<\/em> blueberry and cherry as just<\/em> cherry. But, there are exceptions and this is one of them. I strongly believe that peach and orange blossom flavors elevate each other to new foodgasm heights!<\/p>\n

Layla and I made the first part of this recipe while Hettie Rose was napping. It’s so fun to have time with my big girl in the kitchen \u2013 the original wild child! \u2013 we don’t often get ‘just us’ time these days and cooking is one of the ways we get to bond. I love having a food project that we can work on together. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Both Layla and Hettie were gifted their own Japanese Misono<\/a> kid’s knives with their names engraved by our long time family friends. If you are teaching a LIttle One to use a real knife I would highly suggest these. When I cooked for Le Bernardin in NYC I bought all my knives at Korin and they have an extensive and beautiful collection. In my years of teaching kids cooking, I have used many different knives and I think these are the best. They are perfect for small hands, nicely weighted and they have a rounded tip. <\/p>\n

This Peach Blossom pie needs no extra help in the tasty department, but if you want to serve it with a scoop of vanilla or buttermilk ice cream overtop, while it’s still warm, I’m pretty sure you won’t regret it.<\/p>\n
