'Tis the season for peaches, and this is a great way to use them. We have two peach trees, so this has become a yearly tradition.
Slice 3 or 4 peaches into a bowl. Sprinkle with a little bit of sugar and stir gently. Put into a baked pie shell. Mash 2 large or 3 med. peaches and put in a saucepan. Add 1 1/2 cups sugar, 5 or 6 T. cornstarch, and 1/2 cup water. Cook on med. high heat about 5 minutes. It should be at a full boil. Remove from heat and add 1/2 tsp. almond extract and about 2 T. butter. Stir well and pour over peaches. Chill for several hours. Serve with whipped or ice cream. You can add more peaches, but be sure to add more cornstarch, too.
