Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3/4 cup Sugar
3 tablespoons Cornstarch
1/2 cup Sugar
1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Salt
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
5 Peaches -- large ripe
Red food coloring
1/4 cup Sugar (approximately)
1 9" pie shell -- baked
Whipped cream/Ice cream

Combine 3/4 cup of sugar, cornstarch and water in saucepan, stirring until
cornstarch is dissolved. Finely chop or crush three of the peaches. Add these
to cornstarch mixture. Blend in food coloring. Bring to boiling point,
reduce heat and simmer until mixture is thick
and clear. Stir it constantly during the cooking period. Cool. Slice remaining
peaches, arrange them on bottom of baked pie shell. Sprinkle with about 1/4th
cup of sugar. (If
peaches are very sweet, less sugar may be used.) Spoon cooked mixture onto
sliced peaches. Refrigerate for several
hours before serving. Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.
