Author Notes

This is a favorite of my mom's to feed a happy group of friends -- mine, hers, or both -- during the summer in her back yard/organic garden. The sour cream adds a smooth tartness that is delightfully complimentary to the sweetness of the fruit and the buttery crumbliness of the crust.

When I was living in Manhattan, my friends and I would periodically hop on the train to New Jersey and visit my mom for a backyard grilling and sangria-tippling evening. It remains a tradition now that I have relocated to Washington DC, both when I am in town and when I am not! On a recent work trip to Jakarta, I received delightful photos of my friends in my mom's backyard enjoying themselves with the message "wish you were here!"

This recipe comes to mind when I think of those good times with my friends and my mom at my childhood home. —Portia Hunt

Baking this right now. Sounds very much like a much loved and long lost recipe printed years ago in the Chicago Sun Times called "Peach Cream Pie" that did not have blueberries in it - so I'm making it with all peaches. Thanks so much for sharing this : - D

Thanks Portia- you know I noticed when I post recipes on the food52 template, I really need to double check because sometimes ingredients etc. don't post once saved and I need to add later. I swear I've added things but they don't show up sometimes! Thanks again, can't wait to try this recipe, I know my family will love it!

Whoops, ok I see what you are saying now, didn't realize you were asking about the custard... just add a 1/3 or 1/2 cup, I would, but I can't say for sure. It's like making a custard when you add milk but instead you are adding sour cream. I am sure the author will get back to you soon enough. Sorry! :)))

Just noticed that, for the filling, the egg yolks are combined with the flour, sugar and sour cream but no amount is indicated for the sour cream. Help!

I will be trying this, too, once I get some good summer peaches. I also like the simple, press-in crust.

The whole thing is easy! And it's kinda fun to watch the crust roll into a ball in the food processor. ;)
