MEARS, PEACHES,
blueberries, nectarines
and raspberries — the

jewels of summer. And
although we love a bow!
heaped with morning-fresh
fruit or berries, it’s hard to
beat a homemade fruit pie.

In our family, the dedicated home
cooks judged each other on the qual-
ity of their pies. And they always
thought that mixing, chilling and
rolling out homemade pastry was:
the one and only way to go. ; |

Today, it is possible to buy frozen
pie shells that-are made, with top

quality ingredivnts that taste’almost.-

as good as homemade. As for conve-
nience, they cannot be beat -— no “
bowl, no rolling pin. no floury coun-
tertops and ready in no time.

One of my favorite sumimer pies
is a recipe that was printed in Nora °
Ephron's novel Heartburn. The pas-
try is-a snap to make and ts patted
into a pie plate rather than rolled
oul.
