Ang- I made the Blueberry Bars and got the same reaction you did. Everyone raved.

I varied the proportions: 2/3 pastry, same volume filling & into a 9x9 pan. That way, I got lots of

antioxidant per slice. I'd do that again.

 
I'll be over for the peach/blueberry version and a cup of coffee. those would be so pretty.

I'm thinking a blueberry/gooseberry combo would be good for those of you who have gooseberries to use up. the only tip I would add about using peaches or other very juicy fruit is to sugar and cornstarch the fruit just before pouring onto the crust, which I would definitely pre-bake for a bit like you did. that way not as much juice will come out while sitting in the bowl with the sugar. I imagaine it would get softer faster too. some almond in the crust with the peaches would be nice too---or sprinkled over the top. I just can't leave a recipe alone---can I/
