Fresh Peach Pie

-
Oh My !



 From as long back as I remember this was how my Mom prepared fresh peach pie. Every year since I'm married I have followed in her footsteps. It doesn't seem right not to. From the comments of the boys yesterday when they saw that I had made one they have come to enjoy this as much as I did when I was young. In Shawn words,"This stuff is THE BOMB!" and in Anthony's,"This stuff is AMAZING!"

The filling is not a stiff filling that will stand perfectly when cut and served and it can be used in a variety of desserts. Pure deliciousness!! I hope you will enjoy it as much as we do!

Ingredients:
1½ cups sugar
¾ cup clear jel, more if you want it more firm
a pinch of salt
1 pint water
1 pint 7-Up
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1½ ounces peach jello
fresh sliced peaches
whipped cream
2 - 9 inch baked pie shells

In a saucepan combine sugar, clear jel, and salt. Stir with a wire whisk.


Add lemon juice, water, and 7-Up.





Whisk over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring until thick.


Add peach jello and stir till dissolved.



Allow to cool completely before adding lots of fresh sliced peaches. The idea is for the glaze to hold things together but not to have a bite where you have just glaze. So add plenty of peaches.

I think perhaps I have to make some pie crusts today. Maybe they will offer to clean and do laundry while I do this. ☺ Every woman needs a dream! ☺

Be Blessed!

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, starting on
