Peach Pie

Line a dish with a good crust. Then place in it a single layer of peaches, cut in halves; sprinkle sugar over them, and pour on enough sweet cream to fill the dish, and bake. Use no upper crust. "Homely" Pie. - Take one cup of molasses, one cup of good vinegar, one cup of water, one small spoonful of extract of lemon and a piece of butter the size of a hen's egg. Let it all come to a boil and thicken it with corn starch. This makes two pies. Don't put on a top crust, but lay strips of the paste on, as there is danger of its foaming over.
