Fresh Peach Pie

—-

Filling:

1 quart fresh peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced 1/2-inch thick

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

Pastry for 9-inch double-crust pie:

1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces

For filling: Prepare the peaches and place them in a large bowl. Cover the sliced peaches with the sugar and let them stand for about 30 minutes to develop juices. Add the flour and salt and mix well, making sure the peaches are well coated.

For crust (recipe follows): To make the pie shell, roll out half the dough on a lightly-floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. To pick the dough up, fold it loosely in half and place it in a 9-inch pie plate, unfold and press it gently into the plate. Pour the peach filling into the pie shell and dot with the butter.

For the top crust, roll out the remaining dough on a lightly-floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Dampen the edges of the bottom pie crust with a little cold water. Again, fold the dough in half and place over the filling. Unfold and trim off the excess dough. Crimp the edges of the two crusts together. Prick the top crust with a knife or fork to allow the steam to escape.

Bake the pie in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes, reduce the heat to 375 degrees and continue baking for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Serves 8.

Pie Crust:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons vegetable shortening or butter-flavored shortening

2 tablespoons cold lard

1/4 cup ice water

Combine the flour and salt in a bowl. Using a pastry blender or a fork, cut in the shortening and lard until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in as much ice water as needed to form the mixture into a ball. The recipe makes one 9-inch double-crust.

Cherry Almond Pie

—-

Filling:

4 cups tart red cherries, pitted (fresh, canned or frozen)

1 cup sugar

1 tablespoon butter

pinch salt

1/4 cup cornstarch

1/3 cup cold water

1/4 teaspoon almond extract

1/4 teaspoon red food coloring (optional)

pastry for 9-inch double-crust pie (recipe follows)

For filling: Drain the cherries reserving 2/3 cup of juice. Place the juice in saucepan. (Discard remaining juice.) Add the cherries, sugar, butter, and salt. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the cold water. Gently stir the cornstarch mixture into cherry mixture. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the mixture thickens and becomes bubbly. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly. Remove the pan from the heat; stir in the almond extract and food coloring, if desired. Cool.

For crust (recipe follows): Roll out enough dough on a lightly-floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Pour the cherry filling into the pie crust. Top with a lattice crust.

Bake the pie in a 425 degree oven for 10 minutes, reduce the heat to 375 degrees and continue baking for 45 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden. Serves 8.

Crust:

4 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon sugar

2 teaspoons salt

1 3/4 cups vegetable shortening

1 egg

1 tablespoon vinegar

1/2 cup water

Combine the flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Using a pastry blender or fork, cut in the shortening until the mixture is crumbly. In a separate bowl, combine the egg, vinegar, and water. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture. Stir just until the mixture can be formed into a ball. Cover the dough ball and chill for at least 15 minutes. The recipe makes two 9-inch double crusts and one single crust. The extra dough can be refrigerated up to three days, or frozen until for later use.
