GOLDEN PEACH PIE

GOLDEN PEACH PIE

Note: You can use canned peaches for this recipe. You can make the filling ahead and refrigerate it, then pour into crust when ready. Most pies made with canned or premade fillings bake at 400 degrees for 40-45 minutes, as does this one.

Drain 2 1-pound cans (or 1 quart jar) of peaches, reserving 1/3 cup of juice. Combine 1/2 cup sugar, 2 Tablespoons flour, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, and dash salt in a saucepan. Cook with reserved juice, stirring constantly until thick and bubbly. Add 2 Tablespoon butter, 1 Tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel and 1/8 teaspoon almond extract. Stir in sliced peaches. Either refrigerate or pour into prepared pastry lined pan. Adjust top crust and bake.
