Mom's Fresh Peach Pie

I am assuming the Mom in this recipe is my grandmother, Ruth Hawley.

I don't remember much about her because she died when I was very young. I do remember we would dress up with hats together and giggle. I also remember her kitchen because it had very strange wall paper (coffee grinders, or something like that). I wish she'd lived a little longer, so I could have more memories...

Mom's Fresh Peach Pie - 1942

1c. sugar
2 1/2 T. cornstarch
1/4 t. salt
1/4 c. water
5 c. diced peaches - fresh
1 T lemon juice
1/2 t each cinnamon and nutmeg

Combine sugar, cornstarch, salt and spices. Add water and peaches. Bring to a boil and boil 1 minute. Cool and add lemon juice. Pour into uncooked 9 inch pastry. Bake at 425 for 30 minutes.
