2 cups flour

1/2 tsp. salt

2/3 cup vegetable shortening

1/4 cup cold water

3/4 cup brown sugar

3 Tbs. quick cooking tapioca

3/4 tsp. Ground Ginger

1/2 tsp. Lemon Peel

4 cups peaches, peeled and sliced

2 Tbs. butter or margarine

1/4 tsp. Pure Almond Extract

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 F.

 

Place sesame seed in shallow baking pan and toast in

preheated 350 degree F oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Set aside to cool.

 

Sift flour and salt into medium size bowl. Measure 1/4

cup flour mixture and set aside in small bowl.

 

Cut shortening into remaining flour mixture with pastry

blender or 2 knives until particles are about size of peas.

 

Add cold water to 1/4 cup reserved flour mixture and stir

to make smooth paste. Sprinkle paste over flour/shortening

mixture. Add toasted sesame seed and blend quickly until

dough is moist and can be shaped into 2 equal-size balls.

 

Set 1 ball of dough aside and roll out other ball on

lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Line 9-inch

pie plate.

 

Roll out remaining ball of dough on floured surface to

1/8-inch thickness and cut into 3/4-inch strips. Set strips

aside to use for lattice top.

 

Increase oven temperature to 425 F.

 

To make filling, place sugar, tapioca, ginger, and lemon

peel in small bowl and mix well. Sprinkle half of mixture

over bottom of pie shell.

 

Arrange peach slices over sugar-spice mixture and sprinkle

remaining sugar mixture over peaches. Dot with butter and

drizzle almond extract over all. Use pastry strips to form

lattice top over fruit. Press ends of strips to bottom crust

to seal.
