Fresh Peach Pie


This recipe makes enough filling for 3 8" or 9" pie shells. In parenthesis I will put the amounts for 1 small pie.

PIE FILLING
8 or 9 Cups of Fresh Peaches peeled and sliced. (3 Cups)
2 Cups Boiling Water (2/3 Cup)
1/2 Cup Cold Water (1/4 Cup)
3/4 Cup Corn Starch (1/4 Cup)
2 1/2 Cups Sugar (3/4 Cup)
1/8tsp Salt (dash)
1/4 Cup Lemon Juice (1 Tbs lemon Juice)
1 3oz pkg Peach or Orange Jello (1/2 pkg)
(If you want a sweeter more candy-like taste, use peach jello. Use orange if not.)

Mix cold water, corn starch, sugar and salt to make a paste. Add to boiling water. Cook until very thick, stirring constantly. Add jello and cook 1 minute. Remove from heat & add lemon juice. Let cool. Add sliced peaches and stir well. Pour into baked pie shells. Top with whipped cream... (or just eat it with vanilla ice cream). Refrigerate until set, about 2-3 hours. So YUM!
