Charles Owens aka @superbalanced took this photo of my first-ever peanut butter pie. I changed the recipe to add chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups to the topping. This was one of two pies I made for #burgersummit yet another gathering of Twitter friends and foodies. I’m pretty pleased with the way this pie turned out and will make it again sometime. The recipe came from Mrs. Rowe’s Little Book of Southern Pies by Mollie Bryan. Buy a copy on Amazon today! (Mollie – hope you don’t mind the plug!).
The second pie, which I’ve made before, was one of my favorites — a very seasonal pie, there’s only a small window in which to bake a fresh, just picked, locally-grown peaches peach pie. (Yay, Crozet!) and that window is open RIGHT NOW, my friends. Photo of said pie, also from Charles Owens. Again, the pie was praised, and I was delighted.
Right now, my oven has a peach and blueberry cobbler baking and it smells heavenly in my kitchen. Sorry, Mistie. Had to share.
If you’re dying for a Marijean Jaggers pie, I suggest you mark October 3 on your calendar and start saving your lunch money. I will be competing in the C’ville Pie Fest and contributing a pie or pies to the charity pie auction (proceeds to benefit PACEM, the area’s winter homeless shelter.)









Both of these sound great!
I must admit when I read the title, I thought “Peanut Butter & Peaches & Cream” was a single pie. Um, yuck? Peaches with Peanut Butter? But separately they sound quite delish.
i love both peanut butter and cheeze as the filling of my morning sandwhich.`:~
i am allergic to peanuts so i can only taste a bit of peanut butter even if i love it so much.,:-
