Ingredients
- 9 pounds fresh peaches
- 2 teaspoons Fruit Fresh, (fruit preservative)
- 3 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons quick cooking tapioca
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 9-inch pie, top crust
- 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) butter
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg
Directions
To peel the peaches, first bring a pot of water to a boil. Using a paring knife, score the peaches with an X into the skins only. Gently drop the peaches in the boiling water for approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, remove the peaches and place them in iced water for a minute. The skins should slip off easily. If not, place back into the boiling water for another 30 seconds.
Slice the peaches and put them in a bowl. Sprinkle Fresh Fruit and sugar, and stir into peaches. Stir in remaining ingredients and mix well.
Line 4 pie pans with heavy foil or freezer paper, placing a piece of plastic wrap over foil. Put 4 to 5 cups filling each pan. Loosely fold wrapping around pie and freeze until firm. When filling is frozen solid, remove from pans and wrap tightly. Return to freezer until ready to use.
On pie baking day, for each pie, simply place frozen pie filling in pie shell, add 1/2 a stick of butter and sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg. Top pie with an additional pastry crust, seal well, and bake for 50 to 60 minutes in a preheated 375 degree oven.

This was a wonderful recipe! I had no trouble with soggy crusts or runny filling. I lined my pie pan with plastic wrap before filling, then covered and froze it, and left it wrapped when I put it in a gallon freezer bag. It tastes just like fresh peaches when you cook it. I use this recipe every year.

It would be easier if the 9# of peaches were broken down into "cups" of peaches. Any possiblity of that??
