Sparkling Peach Pie

I used to make this pie a long time ago. It is really easy and tastes delicious. My family loves this one.

Ingredients:
2 baked pie crusts

1 cup sugar or 1/2 cup honey
5 T cornstarch
12 oz of a lemon-lime soda or sparkling water

1 box peach jello
5 large peaches
4 t lemon juice

Directions:
Peel peaches and place in a bowl. Add lemon  juice and stir into peaches.

In a saucepan, cook sparkling water or soda, sugar or honey, and cornstarch until thick and clear. Stir in jello. Remove from heat and stir in peaches. Pour into a baked crust and refrigerate until cold.

Berry Chia Pie

Ingredients:
1 cup pitted dates
1 cup slivered almonds or pecans
3 T flaxseed meal
6 cups mixed fresh berries, divided
1/2 c chia seeds
1/2 c unsweetened juice (can use white grape or blackberry or ??)
2 T honey
2 t vanilla extract

Directions:
Cut dates in half and place in a food processor. Pulse until chopped into small pieces. Add pecans or almonds and flaxseed meal and process until mixture is finely ground and begins to clump together. You may have to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Put the mixture into a 9" pie pan and press down to evenly cover the bottom and sides of the pie pan. Set aside.

Wipe out the food processor and add half of the berries, all of the chia seeds, the juice, honey and vanilla. Process until fairly smooth. Transfer to a bowl and stir in remaining berries. Pour into the pie plate. Cover and refrigerate until chilled and chia seeds have thickened the filling, at least 4 hours.
