What would be the UK equivalent of shortening? Lard perhaps with some butter looking at the yellow colour of that pastry?

Honestly, I would rather use good ol' fashioned lard than "shortening" which is a hodge-podge of who knows what. Crisco is the brand name for it here.

Thank you very much - I'd normally use 50/50 lard and butter for a pastry, so just wanted to check!

I've never cooked with lard myself--I've only ever used vegetable shortening or butter, or a combination of the two. I used butter in this particular recipe. Maybe next time I'll try shortening and see if it makes a difference.

That looks very tasty! I've been wanting something peachy/piey too!

This whole post is gorgeous. Than you for the step-by-step pictures.

My rule of thumb is to assume that no peaches will be really ripe before July 4th. Therefore, peach pie is always on my July 4 menu. Maybe I should try this recipe this year.

You're welcome and thanks!

Yeah, I usually don't have the best luck with grocery store peaches, no matter when. But these must have been a fluke, for they are really yummy.

The best peaches come off my mom's trees--they're small & hideously ugly but oh. my. god. They are divine.
