"My mother found this recipe in a magazine; we had never had a peach pie before.  There was a group of us friends that would go out horseback riding or sailing on Shawnoe Lake in the summer.  My mother would send peach pie along with us on our outings." - Jean Hansen

"Be sure to drain the peaches well.  The spices in this pie are just right to compliment the peaches." - Calla Ferre
