It's made with fresh apricots, those delicate, sweet gems of June and July.  They shine in this pie!  It's also an easy pie to make.

Combine two favorites -- blueberries and lemons -- and what do you get?  A new favorite!  The blueberries are nestled in a sweet-tart lemon custard, all enthroned on a buttery crust.  

Usually I say peach pie is my favorite, but this fresh peach and raspberry tart might be even better.  The nutty almond crust says "I love you" to the peaches, the raspberries add color, and the not-too-sweet peach glaze holds it all together with joy.  Try it!

When fresh blackberries are in season, grab them!  Make yourself happy!  The ginger in this pie gives it a subtle spark that is delightful.  Best when served a tiny bit warm with vanilla ice cream.

It's cool!  It brings sweet and tart together and serves it up, cool and refreshing, just when you need it.  It's an easy recipe that can be made ahead.

Oh!  It's so different and celebrates a deserving fresh, juicy fruit.  I especially love this because it's not as sweet as many pies, nor as rich (unless you add the always-tempting swirl of whipped cream). 

There’s something dreamy about ice cream bars that combine orange sherbet and vanilla ice cream.  Remember those?  This pie is reminiscent of those, but better.  First, there’s a whole lot more of it, enough to share!  Then, it swirls 2 favorite flavors:  fresh orange and vanilla cream.   Finally, you can do either a winter version (cold but not frozen) or summer version (icy).  Either will win you points with friends and family.  It features Cuties® brand clementine oranges, which are extra flavorful and provide an inviting soft color.

It screams for berries!  It's the perfct palate -- delicate, with a hint of lemon -- for fresh berries, whether raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries or some other favorite.  Made with ingredients on hand, you can bring home the berries, put the pie together, and enjoy it within a couple of hours.  It doesn't even have to cool completely, like most pies.  It's easy, breezy and delicious. 

Clouds of meringue float above perky, fresh lemon pudding nestled in a light crust with crunch.  So many good things in one place!  "Lammas" refers to the midway point between summer solstice and the fall equinox, which is when this recipe was created.  And "Mama's" comes from the fact that the luscious Meyer's lemons used came from my Mom's tree! 

Who doesn't have ripe bananas around every now and then?  This is a perfect way to use them:  nestled in a crisp crust and crowned with an elegant (but easy!) vanilla pudding.  Oh, my gosh!  So good

If you love figs, you'll love this!  A slightly nutty crust, vanilla custard, the sweet burst of fresh figs, and a hint of sweet/tart chocolate bring people back for more.

It's so pretty!  It's enticing and light, perfect for summer.

Mmmmm, for those of us who love fresh figs, this is a gem!  The crust has a cookie quality to it -- not too sweet -- that embraces the cream cheese filling, which compliments the fresh figs.  Then there's the chocolate drizzle, which brings it all together for an easy early fall treat.

Bewitching.  That's this pie!  Fresh, sweet red raspberries and dark chocolate buttercream are a winsome pair. The judges deemed it "Best of Show" at the NM State Fair Pie Contest 2014.
