Introduction
Peach pie.
We really enjoyed our long week-end of leisure, fun times with friends and eating. Having more time in the kitchen allowed me to make homemade spaghetti with tomatoes sauce and a peach pie. My mom just sent us from her garden fresh tomatoes and peaches, and therefore could not pass up the opportunity to use them right the way.
There is nothing nicer than biting into a just picked ripe peach from a tree. The flavor is just indescribable.
I never made peach pie before so I started looking in all my cook books and to my surprise, I did not find a recipe that I liked. Actually almost all the recipes for peaches were either marinated or cooked with some spirit. It is then that I decided to take matter in my own hands and I came up with this pie recipe. I took my apple pie recipe and added the almond, something new for me. We all loved the result.
If my mom will send me more peaches, hint.. hint mom… next time I will try making a tart…
Instead of making two posts today, I am combing all the meals we had under one heading.
Enjoy this short week.
