Fresh Peach Glaze


4 Tbsp Cornstarch
1 C Sugar
1/2 C Orange Juice Concentrate (undiluted)
1 1/2 C Water
2 Tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
6-8 Large Peaches (peeled and sliced)

Mix cornstarch and sugar in a saucepan with a whisk.  Add liquids and heat until thick and boiling.  Cool to room temperature and fold enough into sliced peaches to coat.  Should be enough glaze for two pies.

(I like to use Aunt Vi's Peach Pie (Crust) Recipe and the cream cheese layer from Raspberry Cream Pies all put together to make an incredible pie...  I LOVE PEACHES!!!)
