Like Angela, pies have always intimidated me...so, I saw this recipe and for whatever reason I decided to go for it. I have never made a pie crust in my life, but with the help of this website my first peach pie was a success. It wasn't the prettiest thing I have ever baked but it tastes good. It is good enough for company tomorrow night (they are bringing the vanilla bean ice cream, yummy)! When I make it again I think I'll leave out the almond extract (I had to try a little tonight to make sure it was okay for guests), but all in all, I really liked it. Thanks again PJ!
PS - I'm guessing it is okay to leave this out with a towel over it; it didn't seem to make sense to put it in the fridge.
Good for you, Jennifer! Yes, leaving it on the counter is fine, covered loosely, just as you did. I'm very proud of you - this fall, you can try an apple pie. And I think I'll cut back the almond in that recipe - it does seem a bit overwhelming, doesn't it? Cheers! PJH
