Peach Pie

This recipe for Canned Peaches Pie will jazz up a meal. Pie Crusts Recipe

2 29 oz cans sliced peaches
reserve ¾ cup juice
1 tbls lemon juice
1 cup sugar
½ tsp nutmeg
dash of salt
¼ cup cornstarch
1 tbls butter

Double crust pastry**

Preheat oven to 375 and put a layer of foil on the lower oven rack to catch spills.

Drain peaches and reserve ¾ cup of the juice. Cut up large slices into a large bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice.

In a saucepan, mix the sugar, nutmeg, salt and cornstarch. Add the reserved juice to the sugar mixture and bring to a boil stirring constantly. Let this bubble about 2 minutes and then pour over peaches and gently stir in the butter. Let cool before filling pie shell.

While filling cools, make the crust. Top with either streusel or pastry crust. Bake for about 45 - 50 minutes.

Cool the pie on a wire rack. *This is why you should always have a couple of cans of peaches, apricots or pears in the cupboard. You can mix a can of peaches with one of pears or apricots for a change, just so you have about 4 cups fruit.

**Note: Can use a single crust with streusel topping instead. Mix ¼ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup sugar, ½ cup flour, 1 tsp cinnamon. Then cut in ¼ cup butter and sprinkle over filling.
