Peach sauce or pie filling

PEACH PIE

3 cups sliced yellow peaches skin removed 

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup water

1/3 cup cornstarch 

1T butter

1 tsp. Vanilla extract

1/4 tsp. Cinnamon ( add more if needed)

1 package refrigerated pie crust

In a medium saucepan place sugar, water and cornstarch. Stir well so sugar is incorporated .  Heat on medium heat while whisking until it comes to a full boil.  Allow to boil for approximately 10 minutes. It’ll be bubbling,

 Add sliced peaches and cook another 3 to 5 minutes.  Remove from heat add butter and cinnamon while stirring .  

Note:***I used a whisk to stir while it thickened.  Cool completely and store in refrigerator or freezer or use for cobblers , peach pie or topping for ice cream.

Follow instructions on the box of pie crust for fruit pie. Make sure to prick edges before baking.  Instead of a double crust I made a lattice design which was a nice change.  Sprinkle with cinnamon or cinnamon sugar on top as I did.  A nice touch!  Enjoy!

Bake it at 375° for approximately 50 minutes.  Cover edges as not to brown.  I did not and it browned a little more than my usual pie does but it was not burnt,

So yummy!

Homemade fruit topping or sauce! This time it's Strawberry! And cherries!!

There is nothing like making your own fruit topping/sauce.  I guarantee you'll keep making it with this basic recipe and changing the fruit if you choose.  

You’ll see some additional photos where I used bing cherries in the recipe.  Hubby wanted some tonight over vanilla ice cream.  

Enjoy!

1 cup sugar
2 T cornstarch
1 cup water
1 cup strawberries, blueberries or fruit of choice
1 T butter
1/2 tsp. lemon juice (optional)
1 to 2 drops food coloring (optional)

1. In a medium saucepan, mix the sugar, cornstarch, and water. Bring to a boil. Stirring constantly, cook 3 to 4 minutes. Mix in the remaining 1 cup fresh fruit, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in the butter, and pour over  French toast, pancakes or even ice cream.  optional:  Add 1 to 2 drops red food coloring for more color if the strawberries are not super red. That's an option.
