Peach Blueberry Pie

Recently, i found out i am "sensitive" to many different foods. But not peaches and blueberries, thank goodness! Hooray! Especially when the peaches are from Colorado's Western Slope. Seriously the best peaches ever. We joined a CSA and get a fruit share, too. This summer, the peaches are a-plenty. So here's a peach pie recipe that has worked well for us to share at potlucks. (i made my own crust based on a Better Homes & Gardens recipe, but you can use your own or a refrigerated store-bought crust.)
