Holy Yummy Pie


PEACH PIE

2 1/2 cup peaches
1 T. lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup sugar
3 T. cornstarch
2 T. butter
1/8 t. salt
1/8 t. almond extract (optional)


Drizzle the lemon juice over the peaches and add 1/4 cup sugar. Let stand for 1 hour. Drain peaches and add enough water to the syrup to make 1 cup liquid. Blend 1/2 cup sugar with the cornstarch (in a saucepan) and add the liquid gradually. Boil for 3 minutes, or until thick. Remove from heat and add the butter, salt, and extract. Add the peaches. Pour into a cooked pie shell. Refrigerate.
I've already made three of these and I've only had the recipe for about a week. If you don't have almond you can use vanilla but it's so much better with almond.
