Peach Meringue Pie

Line a pie plate with a rich pie crust, cover thickly with peaches that have been pared and sliced fine (canned peaches may be used when others are not to be had), adding sugar, and cover with strips of dough and bake quickly at 400°F.

If you do not mind the expense, spread over the peaches a meringue made by whipping the whites of three eggs to a stiff froth and sweetening with a tablespoonful of pulverized sugar for each egg.

Add half a teaspoonful cream of tartar to the meringue; flavor with vanilla and set back in the oven until the meringue begins to color. Take out carefully. Eat cold. Delicious served with cream.

My Unforgettable Peach Pie

© Don Bell

I recall attending a men's breakfast at a little country church back in the early 1980s, where the Women's Institute had prepared the men's brunch.

There were so many homemade pie flavors to choose from after the breakfast meal of pancakes, bacon, sausages, and scrambled eggs, but I didn't have to make a choice.

While holding a large deep-dish peach pie, my cousin's husband seated next to me asked, "Do you like peaches, Don?"

Before I could reply, Roy had deftly sliced the pie in half, sliding one half onto my plate and the other onto his! It was delicious as expected and not surprisingly, quite filling, but I didn't let on.

As soon as we finished, he looked over the remaining selection of pies and asked me what my favorite was. I mumbled that I wasn't sure, afraid he'd land another half pie onto my plate.

By the way, I still love peach pie!
