If made as is this is a spicy peach pie. I tend to like a sweet summer peach pie and would recommend omitting the ginger altogether if that is what you are looking for. I added a 6th peach and substitued 1/3 c flour for the cornstarch. I do not like adding cornstarch or tapioca to my pies as I think it alters the flavor and sometimes makes them too congealed. I like a little bit of juice to add to that home made effect. Also, if you are making a spicy peach pie you could add a 1/4 t of nutmeg for an extra boost of flavor. All in all this is a good pie recipe and I would definitely make again. I like that you can vary the spices to determine a spicy or sweet pie with a wonderful outcome either way.

I absolutely love peaches! I increased the number of peaches to fill my pie pan....my peaches must have been on the small side. I felt the amount of cinnamon and ginger was a bit too much, so next time I would reduce them by half. Served warm with delicious vanilla ice cream. Thanks for sharing! Made for PRMR tag game.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
