Peach pie with homemade vanilla ice cream


Peach Pie

7 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced

1 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour
1/4 t. cinnamon
2 T. butter

Oven 425 degrees. Mix peaches with lemon juice. Mix sugar, flour, cinnamon together. Stir into peaches. (I usually mix them together in a gallon bag) Arrange peaches in pie pan lined with dough. Dot with butter. Cover with top crust. Flute and bake for 35-40 minutes.

Blueberry cake with lemon glaze:



Blueberry cake

2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 T. baking powder
1 t. salt
1/3 cup soft butter or margarine
1 cup milk
1 egg
2 cups fresh blueberries

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13x9 baking dish. Beat all ingredients except for blueberries. Spread half of the batter in the prepared dish. Sprinkle one cup of the blueberries on top. Spread other half of batter on top of blueberries. (the batter will be sparse...don't worry it will bake into berries!) Sprinkle second cup of blueberries on top. Bake for 35 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes.

Glaze with 1 cup confectioners sugar mixed with 2 Tablespoons of lemon juice. Enjoy!
