Recipe for July - Peach Melba Here is another recipe that may look familiar to you because I sent it last July too. Like I told you in June, I hate to repeat myself (it makes people think you are old!) but this is another tried and true favorite and also worth repeating!

1 1/2 cup flour 1 1/2 tsp sugar pinch of salt 2 egg yolks (from At the Farm) 3/4 cup butter 1 tsp vanilla Cut like pie crust and add the 2 beaten egg yolks. Spread in a 9x13 glass baking pan. 6 cups fresh peaches (from At the Farm) 1 1/2 cups sugar 9 tlb flour 3 tlb butter Mix and put on crust. Dot the butter on the top of this. 1/2 cup whipping cream 2 egg whites (from At the Farm) 2 tlb sugar Beat egg whites until stiff, add sugar and whipping cream. Spread on top of peaches ( It will look like its not enough but it spreads when baking ) Bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour. Serve warm with real whipped cream. It is good cold too! Enjoy!
