WOW!! What a great flavor!! I think I'd increase the Cornstarch to 1-1/2T. Just a bit too runny and you could always tweek it with OJ if too thick. This is definitely a keeper. -
This is a recipe that makes your favorite peach a real star! I used a shortbread crust, which worked great. I really love the recipe, but if you don't use a good fresh peach, don't be disappointed with the results. -
Love the fact that the peaches have not been cooked! Delicious with a dollop of whipped cream. I had this for breakfast! Thank you Michelle! Made for Australian Recipe Swap 2007.
