This is the second peach pie I made last weekend. How did it compare?

Yogurt Fruit Pie

This is one of those “whatever fruit you have will work” recipes from Simply in Season. Since I had a ton of peaches (as you’ll see throughout the rest of the week as I post several peach recipes) I decided to make a yogurt peach pie.

I’m republishing this recipe from last year because I was recently given a large sorrel plant from my friend Holly–I see another batch of this in the near future!

I’ve been wanting to do a video for awhile now; in fact, I bought a little camera last summer. But it took accidentally signing up to do a video about Frank’s Red Hot through Collective Bias that made me finally do it! Please, be gentle.

This recipe is adapted from The Art of Simple Food: Notes, Lessons, and Recipes from a Delicious Revolution. As much as I don’t want it to be winter yet, I was able to use mostly produce from last week’s CSA pickup.

The recipe for whipped squash from Simply in Season calls for 4 C cooked butternut squash, 2 T butter, 1 T brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon. Beat until smooth. But how does one cook squash in the first place?
