Blend sugar, cornstarch and 3/4 cup water; stir into boiling mixture.
Cook, stirring constantly over medium heat until thick and clear.
Add juice of half a lemon or so. [gives alittle zing]
Add a tiny 1 drop red food coloring. [you can always add more][gives it a more peachy color]
Cool.
Place remaining peaches sliced and pretty in baked pie shell [see below]. Cover with cooked glaze. Refrigerate until firm about 2 hours.

5/8C butter – melted
7.5T hot water
Combine baking mix and butter in baking dish. Add water, stir with fork until dough forms a ball and cleans the dish. [Dough will be soft and puffy.]
Pat dough with hands into a large oblong pyrex pan, bringing dough up and over edge of pan. Check for thin spots by holding pan to light. Poke holes with a fork to allow steam to escape.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes at 450 degrees. Until pale, pale golden brown.

Sounds yummy, but that ain’t no torte, that’s a peach pie with no top on it.
A torte has no flour in it. Betcha didn’t think I knew that, huh?
If you wanna make a real torte, you’d better getcha a Kitchen-Aid mixer, ’cause you’re gonna need it. And some baker’s parchment, and an egg separator and some… ah hell, just go buy a damn torte.
It sounds real good to me.
I’ll be right over.
Picture please ;o)
Freaking gorgeous, Claire. Now I must go bake!
Can I hab ice cream wiff it?
One of the best meals I ever ate was chicken broccoli casserole and saffron rice, with peach pie for dessert. I got the recipes, but have never recreated that meal. I think it’s about time!
