   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
      3/4  cup           Sugar
    3      tablespoons   Cornstarch
      1/2  cup           Sugar
    1      tablespoon    Lemon juice
                         Salt
      1/4  teaspoon      Nutmeg
    5                    Peaches  -- large ripe
                         Red food coloring
      1/4  cup           Sugar (approximately)
    1                    9 pie shell  -- baked
                         Whipped cream/Ice cream
 
     Combine 3/4 cup of sugar, cornstarch and water in saucepan, stirring until
  cornstarch is dissolved. Finely chop or crush three of the peaches. Add these
  to cornstarch mixture.  Blend in food coloring.  Bring to boiling point, reduce
  heat and simmer until mixture is thick
 and clear. Stir it constantly during the cooking period. Cool. Slice remaining
peaches, arrange them on bottom of baked pie shell. Sprinkle with about 1/4th cup
of sugar. (If
 peaches are very sweet, less sugar may be used.)  Spoon cooked mixture onto
sliced peaches.  Refrigerate for several
 hours before serving. Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.
