Yo, Ho, Ho, and a Bottle of Rum...Raisin...Peach

Yep. This weekend I'm making a Rum Raisin Peach pie. The shell is actually pre-baking in the oven right now. I'm going to post pics as I make it (and when I taste it).

Sorry I've taken so much time off. First I was busy with school tests, then I was busy with application deadlines, then I ran out of excuses.

So I think I've missed around a month of the challenge. I don't think I'm going to do any big weekend of 5 pies or anything either. I'm going to make most of the pies from the challenge list, but will probably scratch some. Pickle Pie...Sorry.

Well, now. This pie should be really interesting. I'm mixing styles from a few different pies I've made in the past and combining them into one, fantastic, monster pie.

First, the peach part. I was going to just peal, core, and slice the peaches and lay them on the bottom of the pie shell. But, no. I've devised a plan that sounds much tastier.

In the past I've made a Calvados Apple pie. In this pie the apples are cooked on the stove top in a large skillet. First butter is melted, then the apples are added, a bit of sugar enters the picture, and then it's all followed up with some Calvados brandy. Well, I'm going to try something like that with the peaches, only this time I'll use rum.



Second, I'm making a custard with the rum, something I've done numerous other times. Only this time, I'll mix in a bunch of raisins.



Mix them all together. Et voila! Rum Raisin Peach!



Yum.
