Fresh Peach Pie

Every year the WVU farm sells peaches. This year, you had to stand in line and get there early enough to get some. I heard there was even a riot this year at the farm. Sheesh! I was fortunate enough to get a few bags to freeze and make a pie with. This is a recipe I looked up on allrecipes.com. It was easy as "pie!!!" SOOOO yummy. You can make a double recipe of dough and cover the pie or just leave it open. I left mine open and it was delicious! I could have eaten the whole thing myself.

Fresh Peach Pie
10 fresh peaches, pitted and sliced
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup butter
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch single or double crust

Mix flour, sugar and butter into crumb stage. Place one crust in the bottom of a 9 inch pie plate. Line the shell with some sliced peaches. Sprinkle some of the butter mixture on top of the peaches, then put more peaches on top of the the crumb mixture. Continue layering until both the peaches and crumbs are gone. Top with lattice strips of pie crust. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes, or until crust is golden. Allow pie to cool before slicing. Best when eaten fresh.

Cooking secrets:

~Muffins will slide right out of tin pans if the hot pan is first placed on a wet towel.
~Perk up soggy lettuce by adding lemon juice to a bowl of cold water and soak for an hour in the refrigerator.
~If your brown sugar is brick-hard, put your cheese grater to work and grate the amount you need.
~Or place a slice of soft bread in the package of hardened brown sugar and it will soften again in a few hours.
~If you've oversalted soup or vegetables, add cut raw potatoes and then discard once they have cooked and absorbed the salt.
~You'll shed fewer tears if you cut the root of the onion last, or if you place them in the freezer for five minutes first.
~A thin slice cut from each end of a potato will speed up baking time.
~A quick way to separate frozen bacon: heat a metal spatula over a burner, slide it under each slice to separate it from the others.
~You won't have "curly" bacon for breakfast when you dip it into cold water before frying.
~A few drips of lemon juice added to simmering rice will keep the grains separate.
~Grating a stick of butter softens it quickly
~Soften butter for spreading by inverting a small heated pan over the butter dish for a while.
~Before measuring honey or Karo syrup, oil the cup with cooking oil and rinse in hot water.
~To determine if an egg is hard-boiled, spin it. If it spins, it is hard-boiled. If it wobbles and does not spin, it's raw.
~To determine if an egg is fresh, immerse it in a pan of cool, salted water. If it sinks, it's fresh; if it rises to the surface, throw it away.
~Eggshells can be easily removed from hard-boiled eggs if they are quickly rinsed in cold water right out of the boiling water for a few minutes.
~For fluffier omelets, add a pinch of cornstarch before beating.
