Peach pie

Peach pie recipes have been around for centuries, with the earliest known recipe dating back to the 16th century. The pie was mentioned in “The Good Huswifes Handmaide for the Kitchen”, which was published in 1594. The recipe called for a pastry made with flour, suet and water, which was then filled with a mixture of sugar, spices and sliced peaches.

Peach pies became more popular in the 18th century, when they were often served at fashionable tea parties. The pies were usually made with a rich puff pastry, and the filling was often laced with alcohol, such as brandy or rum.

The 19th century saw the introduction of canned peaches, which made peach pies even easier to make. The first canned peaches were imported from France in 1813, and by the mid-19th century, they were widely available in the United States.

Advice

When making a peach pie, it is important to use ripe, sweet peaches, as this will give the pie the best flavor. To make sure the peaches are ripe, check for a sweet aroma and a firm, but slightly soft texture. When cutting the peaches, it is important to not cut them too thin, as they may become too mushy when baked. To give the pie a nice, flaky crust, make sure to use a good quality pie crust and make sure to use your hands or a pastry blender to mix the butter into the dry ingredients. Finally, when baking, use a high oven temperature and make sure to keep an eye on the pie so it doesn’t get too brown.
