Glazed Peach Pie


Glazed Peach Pie Recipe.

So This saturday I went to the farmers market. I didn't get any deliveries from the CSA the previous week since they take July 4th week off. So I went a little nuts.
I got probably 6-8 large peaches.
Then I got my delivery on Tuesday, maybe 8-10 medium/small peaches. And like 15 apricots!
Holy cow.

I've never even seen a fresh apricot before I don't think, but more on that in the next post. So I googled Peach pie recipes, and went through a couple of candidates, but decided on the Glazed Peach Pie Recipe.

So google search found these
A variety of Peach Pie Recipes

Non-sequiter - THank GOD for the auto save. I just clicked the link in my history and it stole my blogger window.

And the winning recipe was:
Glazed PEach Pie Recipe



1 9-inch pie shell, baked
1 quart sliced fresh peaches, excess liquid drained
3/4 cup water
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon butter
1/8 teaspoon salt
sweetened whipped cream or whipped topping

PREPARATION:
Mash 1 cup of the peaches. Add water and cook four minutes. Mix sugar and cornstarch; add to the fruit mixture. Cook until thick and clear. Add vanilla, lemon juice, butter, and salt. Let cool. Arrange remaining peach slices in the cooled pie shell.

Pour cooled peach glaze mixture over the sliced fruit. Chill. To serve, top with whipped cream or whipped topping and a few small peach slices, if desired. Or, serve with vanilla ice cream.



I think I may pass on the whipped topping though. I'll see what the work gang thinks of it. I would prefer the vanilla ice cream idea.

This pie didn't quite make the grade. It was a no cook pie, and wound up super gooey and messy, and not quite a traditional peach pie.

I'm going to go with another pie recipe this time.
