Wayfare Tavern Peach Pie Recipes

TAVERN BEEF AND PORK PIE

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute the precooked beef and pork cubes, onions and garlic in the butter over high heat for 5 minutes, until the onions are golden brown.
• Add the red wine to deglaze the pan, loosening any browned bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the mushrooms, basil, parsley, thyme, salt, pepper, and cook until the liquid has evaporated.
• Stir in the demi-glace and cook about 5 minutes more, until all liquid has evaporated again. Remove from the heat. Spread the mixture out onto a baking sheet and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Refrigerate the mixture about 1 hour to cool completely. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out 6 (6 to 8-inch) squares and brush the edges with the egg mixture. Place 1 cup of the meat mixture in the center of each square. Fold each square over diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges firmly to seal. Using a fork, gently prick the center of each triangle to allow steam to escape. Lightly brush the edges again with the egg mixture. Arrange the triangles 2-inches apart on a greased baking sheet.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden brown.

PEACH-BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Move the oven rack to the bottom third of the oven.
• Divide the dough in half and set one half aside; cover it with a towel or plastic wrap to keep it from drying out. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough to a 10-inch round. Loosely drape the dough round over the rolling pin and transfer to a 9-inch pie pan. Press the dough over the bottom and sides of the pan. Trim the edges to about 1/2-inch.
• Toss the fruit with the sugar, lemon, and cornstarch. Pile the fruit into the pie shell and dot with the butter. Roll out the reserved dough to a 9 to 10-inch round and lay it over the fruit. Trim, and crimp the edges. Cut 2 or 3 (2-inch) vents in the top of the pie and brush with the egg glaze. Put the pie on a baking sheet and bake until the crust is golden brown and the juices are bubbling up through the vents, 50 to 60 minutes. Cover the edges with aluminum foil if they brown too fast. Cool on a rack before serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
• Combine the flour, sugar, salt, and lemon zest in a large mixing bowl. Add the butter and mix with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and ice water and work that in with your hands. (Or do the whole thing in a food processor, pulsing a couple of times to combine the dry ingredients, then pulsing in the butter, and then the egg.) Check the consistency of the dough by squeezing a small amount together between thumb and forefingers: You want there to be just enough moisture to bind the dough so that it holds together without being too wet or sticky. If it's still crumbly, add a little more ice water, 1 teaspoon at a time. When you get it to the right consistency, shape the dough into a disk and wrap it in plastic. Put it in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes.

PEACH GINGER BELLINI

Steps:

• Begin by making the ginger simple syrup. Peel and grate the ginger. Add it together with the sugar and cold water to a saucepan. Bring it to the boil and stir until the sugar dissolves. Cover and let steep for 15 minutes. Strain, discard ginger pieces and set simple syrup aside.
• In a blender add frozen peaches and ginger simple syrup. Blend until completely pureed then place into the refrigerator to cool.
• For serving:
• Add ice cubes to a cocktail shaker and fill half way with peach puree. Top off with Champagne and shake vigorously to combine. Pour into Champagne glasses and repeat process as needed.

GEORGIA WHITE PEACH PIE

Steps:

• First preheat your oven to 425 degrees! Make sure your pastry dough is room temp and ready to go.
• In a large bowl combine your sugar, flour and nutmeg. Add in your peeled & sliced peaches and gently stir to coat all of your peaches. I use my hands, this way you can tell what needs a little more attention. I also use firm peaches. They will soften up just right!!
• Place one pasty sheet in the bottom of your pie dish. Cut up your butter into small pieces and place them all over the bottom of your pasty.
• Pour all of your peach mixture on top of the butter in the pie dish. Spread it out to evenly distribute. Take your second pastry sheet and place on top making sure to crimp the top edges with the bottom edges. Don't forget to make a few vent holes in the top of the upper crust.
• Cover the top of the crust with a tablespoon of sugar, just sprinkle it evenly over the top.
• Bake for 45 minutes. You can cover your edges with a little foil or a ring, depends on your oven and how you like your edges. I usually leave mine on for most of the baking cycle.

• Method for filling: Peel, halve and pit peaches.
• Arrange cut side up in crust. Combine sugar and spices and sprinkle evenly over fruit. Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes.
• Blend egg yolks with cream; pour over fruit, letting some of the mixture run into the center of the peaches.
• Continue baking until filling is set, about 30 minutes.
