Fresh Peach Pie

Just the smell of peaches reminds me of the

transition from summer to fall.  

We always have to make a fresh peach

pie - oooohhhh - so luscious and juicy.

I made one whole pie and these two

little pies with my perfectly ripe peaches. 

Fresh Peach Pie Recipe

1 C. pureed ripe peaches

1 C. sugar

3 T. cornstarch

1 T. butter

1/2 C. cold water

1 tsp. vanilla

1-9 inch pie shell, baked and cooled

7-8  C. ripe peaches, peeled and sliced

(about 6 or 7 large peaches)

Mix the peaches, sugar, cornstarch, butter, and

water in a medium saucepan.  Bring to a boil,

reduce heat and heat until thickened, stirring 

constantly.  When thick, remove from heat

and add vanilla.  Stir in and then

 transfer sauce to a bowl to cool to room

temperature.  When cool, press through

a fine mesh sieve to remove lumps.

When sauce is cool, peel and slice peaches. 

Gently toss the peaches in the sauce.

Pour into cooked and cooled crust.

Refrigerate until serving time.  Serve

with sweetened whipped cream or

vanilla ice cream.

(If you are used to making your fresh

peach pie with peach Jello, try this one.

I made one of each and tasted them side 

by side and will never make the Jello

one again!)
