Fresh Peach Pie

By Peggy
Fresh Peach Pie - Delicious for a summer dessert. I forgot to put in the nutmeg, but it tastes good either way. I cheated with a pre-made pie crust. It doesn't take too long to skin the peaches if you cut them in half and put a couple at a time in a few inches of boiling water. Leave them in 5-10 seconds (until the skin slips off easily) then put them in cold water to cool them down. I added a few ice cubes to speed the process because Florida water out of the tap doesn't really get that cold. Make sure you leave time for it to set in the fridge to firm up.
Ingredients:
1 9 inch pie shell baked - I used the deep dish kind
1 cup of white sugar
1/2-1 c water
4 Tbs corn starch
1/4 c butter or marg.
2 c of fresh peaches, pitted, skinned and mashed
1/4 tsp nutmeg - optional
1 tsp vanilla
4 cups peaches - pitted skinned and sliced
1/4 cup lemon juice
pinch of salt

Directions
1. Combine sugar, water, cornstarch, butter, mashed peaches and nutmeg in a saucepan. Cook over med heat until clear and thick. Stir in vanilla - let cool to room temperature
2. Stir in remaining peaches. Refrigerate 2-3 hours until set
Serve with whipped cream or cool whip

Taco Soup

*Fair warning to everyone: I seem to have a real issue with following recipes exactly . I don't think I ever follow a recipe the same way twice, and I'm really bad at measuring out ingredients, I tend to just 'eye' them alot, so if my recipes get really annoying when I just say, "as much as you want", sorry... 1/2 lb. ground beef 1 small red onion (I just always use regular onions, or onion flakes if I'm out of those) 2 cans stewed tomatoes (I just use regular petite diced canned tomatoes, but the recipe recommends Mexican style) 1 can kidney beans, undrained (I also add 1 can black beans, undrained) 1 can corn, undrained 1 package taco seasoning 1 can tomato soup (if you happen to be out of tomato soup like I was when Will & Peggy & Amy were here, about 1 soup can of salsa makes a nice substitution) I also like to add dried cilantro - um...as much as you want. Place all ingredients in large pot, and simmer for 15 min. Serve with sour cream, g...
