Dessert

Ginger-Peach Pie
(based on recipe from Cooking.com)
We were worried that the ginger would be overpowering, but it turned out to add the perfect amount of interest to the pie. We used fresh, over-ripe peaches which made for a softer, sweeter pie as well.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 c Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Flour
  • 2 tbsp Crystallized Ginger, finely chopped
  • 1/4 tsp ground Mace
  • 8 Peaches, peeled & thinly sliced
  • Pastry for Double-Crust pie
  • Milk
  • Sugar
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl combine the 1/2 cup sugar, flour, crystallized ginger, and mace. Add the peaches. Toss gently till peaches are coated.
Prepare pastry as directed.
Line a 9-inch pie plate with half of the pastry. Stir peach mixture; transfer to pastry-lined pie plate. Trim pastry even with rim. Place top crust on filling. Cut slits in top crust. Trim, seal, and crimp edge of pastry. Brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake in a preheated 375° oven for 50 minutes for fresh peaches or till top is golden. Cool on a rack.
