Great pie...with some modifications, Member Sika6061

I've made this pie twice for two different parties, and it was a huge hit. The first time I made it, I prepared it according to the recipe, but there were some problems. First of all, when I sliced the peaches and put them on top of the cream filling, I had made a pretty spiral design with them which was completely lost when I poured the glaze with the mashed peaches over it. Also, I wasn't sure if I was supposed to add the peach juice which was created when I mashed the peaches to the glaze, so I erred on the side of caution and didn't put it in - big mistake! The glaze with the mashed peaches, water and food coloring had an artificial color to it which I didn't find appealing. The second time I tried it, I kept the spiral design, but instead of adding the water called for with the glaze, I put in the peach juice instead and didn't add the mashed peaches or the food coloring. This created a much more natual color and the taste was fabuous! Not a scrap was left, and everyone loved it! I highly recommend this recipe to anyone who loves peaches and cream on a hot summer day.
