Old Fashioned Peach Blueberry Dessert
When you’re hungry for peaches and blueberries and they aren’t in season, what do you do? You use the frozen fruit you bought and have in your freezer. BOOM, problem solved. This is an incredible dessert, seriously incredible. The first time I made it I used fresh pears, this time I used frozen peaches and blueberries. The total fruit amount in the filling is 5 cups. Think about the combinations of fresh or frozen,thawed and drained fruit( with the total fruit amount being 5 cups) you could use! I had 4 cups of frozen peaches and 1 cup frozen blueberries. I thawed both fruits and drained them well in a sieve. It worked out perfectly. If you intend to use fresh fruit that’s juicy such as peaches or nectarines, drain those fruits as well first.The crust and topping is butter laden and is just as good as the fruit filling it’s surrounds. It’s a fantastic combination of textures and flavors. When I made this dessert using pears I took” how to”pictures, you can find that post here…Old Fashioned Pear Dessert.
