On Saturday, Collingswood Farmers Market hosted its annual peach pie baking competition, and this year Ray and I changed it up a bit. We BOTH entered.

Both of our pie ideas were just too good to pass on, so when you have 2 ideas and 2 people, you get 2 pies. Or in this case, a pie and a tart.

Ray’s entry into the peaches-plus category: Herb and Chevre Peach Tart with Balsamic Crust

However, today’s post isn’t going to have my usual pie recipes in it. For that, you’ll have to wait for my article on Table Matters to publish (mean, I know).

My entry into the peaches-only category (where peaches are the only fruit to be used): Earl Grey Peach Pie with Thyme

The outcome of the baking contest was that my pie came in 3rd place for presentation, Ray’s tart made it up onto the scoreboard for his category of peaches-plus (I think he was in 4th or 5th place), but my Earl Grey Peach Pie with Thyme did not get any flavor points from the judges in the peaches-only category. Maybe it was too weird, but we really liked it!
